*<i>giver</i> to <i>giv</i> ([gɪv'ɛr] - [gi:v]).

This also appears with the verbs <i>ett lede</i>, <i>ett tillgive,</i> and <i>ett tilleve</i> (SA versions). | *<i>giver</i> to <i>giv</i> ([gɪv'ɛr] - [gi:v]).

The same voiced-unvoiced consonant switch occurs in Eastern Alska as it does in Northern Alska, but to a lesser degree. | The same voiced-unvoiced consonant switch occurs in Eastern Alska as it does in Northern Alska, but to a lesser degree. | ||
One notable phonetic shift in Eastern Alska is the placement of ''sj'' in words that normally contain ''kj'' in Standard | |||
*''Alsj' '' [al'ʃɛ] (EA) - ''Alska'' [als'ka] (SA) - Alska | |||
*''Mensjer'' [mɛnʃ(ɹ)] (EA) - ''Mennsker'' [mɛn'skɛr] (SA) - People | |||

The grammar in EA is very different from SA. The largest differences comes from the distinction between three genders (''kån'' instead of only two. Eastern Alska has a Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter gender, each with its own enclitic article and definite article: | The grammar in EA is very different from SA.

*''Det redd'''t''' hus [de: ɹe:ðd hʉs]'' - the red house | *''Det redd'''t''' hus [de: ɹe:ðd hʉs]'' - the red house | ||
====Verbs==== | |||
Verbs are made with an ''å'' in the infinitive form, but do not have any special ending on the actual verb, such as SA's way of adding an ''e'' onto verbs. | |||
*''å Kug'' - to Cook (EA) | |||
*''ett Kyk'''e''' '' - to Cook (SA) | |||
Additionally, the conjugation, while still universal in the present tense, is an ''-e'' instead of ''-er''. This can be confusing in speech because final-syllable vowels are always dropped unless the syllable contains ' , and the adding of an ''e'' does not change the pronunciation of a verb from the infinitive. This also changes the form of 'to be' form ''er'' to ''e''. | |||
