| |
| ==Conservative Amísreg==
| |
| Every sound is articulated as written in Conservative Amísreg, without any deletion processes.
| |
|
| |
|
| The vowels '''o oo''' are consistently [o o:], and '''a aa''' are less back [ä ä:].
| |
|
| |
| The liquid '''r''' may be pronounced as a flap or a trill, [r] or [ɽr] in addition to retroflex fricative, approximant or lateral approximant realizations.
| |
|
| |
| Conservative Amísreg retains the Classical Sowaár 3-tone system in a simplified form, which moderners perceive as affected.
| |
| *Classical Sowaár: á, a, à, áa, aà, aá, aa
| |
| *Conservative Amísreg: á, a, à, áa, aá, aa
| |
| *Modern Amísreg: á, a, áa, aá, aa
| |

| ==New Urban==
| |
| The phonology is based on Amísreg, with a few differences.
| |
|
| |
| *Plain unaspirated consonants become fully voiced.
| |
| *The difference between the retroflex '''dr'''-series and the palatal '''j'''-series is retained; however '''dr tr tr' ''' are apico-postalveolar plosives as in Hindi, or laminal affricates [d͡ʐ t͡ʂ t͡ʂ'], not subapical plosives as in Amísreg.
| |
| *'''dlr tlr tlr' łr''' become velar laterals '''gl kl kl' khl'''.
| |
| *'''nr r''' are much less retroflex than in High Sowaár.
| |
| *'''p''' may be pronounced [f].
| |
| *'''w''' may be pronounced [v] or [ʋ].
| |
| *Stress accent rather than pitch accent (as in Modern Greek).
| |
|
| |
| =='Onáp'aam==
| |
| *'''nr dr tr tr' sr''' = '''ny j c c' x''' = [ɲ t͡ɕ t͡ɕʰ t͡ɕʼ ɕ]
| |
| *'''r''' = [z]
| |
| *'''p w''' = [f v]
| |
| *Retro laterals merge with their dental lateral counterparts.
| |
| *There is more syncope.
| |
| *Stress accent rather than pitch accent.
| |
| *'''h ' ''' are dropped intervocalically.
| |
| **Deletion processes give rise to overlong vowels.

| |
| In addition to the usual Sowaár 4 vowel system ''a aa e ee i ii u uu'' (u uu are fronted /ü ü:/), Camánreh Sowaár also has rhotic vowels, written ''ą ąą ę ęę į įį ų ųų''.
