Urban women speakers of Sjowaázh speak somewhat more uniformly, in a less dialectal and somewhat more posh style of speech, than other groups. Thus we might coin the term "gynelect" for this speech. However, the term "gynelect" is somewhat misleading, as there is no official standard for women's speech -- the name is a placeholder. However, young women being the main drivers of linguistic change, a version of the "gynelect" is on its way to becoming a new non-posh standard for Sjowaázh.
