Colloquial Jalaia does not have a written counterpart, but unlike spoken Official Jalaia, Colloquial Jalaia is the most used version of Jalaia in informal situations and for direct communication. A syllable can follow the following pattern: (C)(C)(C)(C)(C)V(C)(C)(C)(C)(C). A syllable begins with any number between zero and five consonants, and can end in any number between zero and five consonants. | |||
Unlike Official Jalaia, Colloquial Jalaia does not require that a glottal stop is pronounced in the locations where it is so required in Official Jalaia. Also in theory any five consonants could make up the consonant clusters, however, only certain consonant combinations will be pronounced in completeness, with on most occasions at least one or two consonants omitted. | |||
We once again take as example the word "''"enkyvnästettetinäs''", which in Colloquial Jalaia is pronounced as [ˈen̥kʋ̯næsˌtet:eʔˌnæs]. | |||
