Cápa
Alternative forms
Some Cápa speakers, especially in the Parow neighbourhood of Cape Town, pronounce the word as /ʃokǁoɫát͡ʃi/ or /ʃokǁoɫát͡ɕe/, as is generally the pattern in Brazilian Portuguese. This phenomenon is most likely due to most of the Parow neighbourhood's inhabitants being of Brazilian origin, specifically of the city of São Paulo.
