For example, the words foggy, lobster, and dog are spelled with the letter O but they’re speaking the AH sound as in the Father sound (a: jaw drop). In other words, when saying these 2 words the jaw must be dropped in order to make the A sound. (Explore Maine 2013)
1) Standard American English: Lobster [läbstər], Foggy [‘fägē,ˈfôgē], Dog [dôg]
2) Maine American English : Lobster [läbstər], Foggy [‘fagi], Dog [dag]
For the word Lobster, the word is written exactly the same, but in normal SAE speakers don’t stresses too much the sound make it sound like an O sound, but in Maine’s English the sound is more like the word Father. In the case of Foggy, the phonic is totally different. It is “fagi” and sounded like AH in the word Father. And the word Dog is applied the same with the sound of a; jaw drop. In another example, the “r” word is used either in the middle of the word or at the end of the word. Normally, a normal American’s tongue when pronounce the r sound is flat up to the teeth and up to the back teeth to make the sound. Meanwhile with Maine accent the tongue is actually going to slip pass the back teeth and towards the soft palate making it sounds like “rrr” sound, which is holding longer. And so it is not dropped like normal accent. (Accent Practice - Maine
