/ɟ/ is generally written as ⟨dy⟩ and is traditionally contrastive with /gj/, written ⟨gy⟩; however, this distinction does not occur in many non-standard dialects and colloquial speech. The distinction, called ''gyâdyol'' (<small>With distinction:</small> [[Help:IPA|[gjaːɟol]]]; <small>Without distinction:</small> [[Help:IPA|[ɟaːɟol]]]), can also inadvertently redevelop through [[w:Hypercorrection|hypercorrection]]; some speakers in Turñma, traditionally known for a lack of ''gyâdyol'', have shown to pronounce /gj/ as affricate /[[w:Voiced palatal affricate|ɟʝ]]/, especially in initial positions, so ''gyâdyol'' may be pronounced [[Help:IPA|[ɟʝaːɟol]]]. | |||
