Until recently Sjowaázh was highly diglossic, and still is to some extent. Sjowaázh varieties differ mainly in vocabulary and morphology (much of it is the usage and choice of affixes) and secondarily in accent. High Sjowaázh, which is heavily influenced by Classical Sjowaázh, is regarded as the "proper language" and is often used in literature, public announcements and by the upper classes, while the lower orders speak less conservative varieties and sociolects which are sometimes mutually unintelligible. Since the 1340s (fT), a greater permissiveness towards regional and "nonstandard" varieties of Sjowaázh has taken hold in education; however, due to greater travel and the mass media, marked features in Sjowaázh varieties have also begun to disappear.
