Speakers of northern Tevrés around the traditional homeland of the language, Çien-a-Tevrén, tend to realise all syllable final nasals as [ŋ], (e.g. ''Tevrén'' /tevˈɾen/: <small>Northern</small> {{IPA-all|tevˈɾẽŋ|}}, <small>Southern</small> {{IPA-all|tevˈɾẽn|}}; ''cantir'' /kanˈtiɾ/: <small>Northern</small> {{IPA-all|kãŋˈtiɾ|}}, <small>Southern</small> {{IPA-all|kãnˈtiɾ|}}). This trait is shared with the Hilero-Iscaric languages to the northwest of Çien-a-Tevrén, and may be an aerial feature. | |||
