Sjowaázh was highly diglossic until recently and still is to some extent. Sjowaázh varieties differ mainly in vocabulary and affixes and secondarily in accent. High Sjowaázh, which is significantly influenced by Classical Sjowaázh, is the standard language, used in literature, public announcements and by the upper class, while the lower classes speak varieties and sociolects which are sometimes mutually unintelligible. The diglossia is also influenced by gender: urban women are more likely than other groups to use forms and accents closer to High Sjowaázh and are less likely to use strongly marked forms. 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.

High Sjowaázh is the variety taught in Sjowaázh schools and also the variety that is often first taught to non-natives. Most natives are able to speak the proper language to some extent but only choose to use it in certain situations, like greeting a customer, or talking to a stranger over the phone. The ~~Sjowaázh~~ used in pop culture is usually much less posh and more regional, depending on the class and region of the characters.
