====Dialectal | ====Dialectal features==== | ||
Some dialectal features not present in the standard language: | |||
* | *Distinction between /ʒ/ and /d͡ʒ/. | ||
*Distinction between dental and alveolar stops, and between sibilant and non-sibilant alveolar fricatives. The alveolar stops/affricates (/t͇’ ~ t͡ɬ’, t͇ʰ ~ t͡ɬʰ, d͇ ~ d͡ɮ/) and non-sibilant alveolar fricatives (/θ͇ ~ ɬ, ð͇ ~ ɮ/) correspond to Proto-Bantu palatals before non-front vowels, which in the standard language merged with other palatals. | |||
*Labialization of non-velar consonants. | |||
*Reduction of guttural consonants in various ways. Some examples: | |||
**/ħ/ > /χ/ | |||
**/ħ/, /χ/ > /h/ | |||
**/ħ/, /χ/ > /f/ | |||
**/ʕ/, /ʁ/ > Ø | |||
**/ʕ/ > /ʁ/ | |||
**/ʕ/, /ʁ/ > /ɰ/ | |||
**/ʕ/, /ʁ/ > /ʔ/ | |||
**/ʕ/, /ʁ/ > /ɦ/ | |||
**/ħ/, /χ/, /ʕ/, /ʁ/ > Ø | |||
