Minhast is divided into two major dialects. Upper Minhast and Lower Minhast. The two dialects groups differ chiefly in phonetics and the lexicon (for instance, Lower Minhast contains loanwords from neighbouring languages -e.g. Golahat- which Upper Minhast doesn't). Otherwise, the two dialects are mutually intelligible. | Minhast is divided into two major dialects. Upper Minhast and Lower Minhast.

This lead to a revision of the original ''Kilmarian Hypothesis'' by Hisakawa (Hisakawa et.al., 1957) which upheld the belief that, when considered on their own, the Regional Historical Dialects of mainland Minhay constituted a small language family, with Minhast proper being but a central branch to it.--> | |||
