Cápa

Alternative forms

Some Cápa speakers, especially in the Parow neighbourhood of Cape Town, pronounce the word as /ʃokǁʼoɫát͡ʃi/ or /ʃokǁʼoɫát͡ɕe/, 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.

Etymology

From Portuguese chocolate.

Pronunciation

(Cápa) IPA: /ʃokǁʼoláti/

  1. chocolate
