Linguistically, Bijun is considered a ''[[Bemé#Tak vs kriyal|kriyal]]'' variety of standard Bemé, meaning it is considered distinct from more "polite" or "prestigious" ''[[Bemé#Tak vs kriyal|tak]]'' varieties; however, Bijun itself is generally still considered a distinct dialect/sociolect from the broader ''kriyal'' varieties, with its own distinct phonology and vocabulary. Bijun is also considered one of the three major varieties of Bemé, alongside [[Columbé]] and standard Bemé. | Linguistically, Bijun is considered a ''[[Bemé#Tak vs kriyal|kriyal]]'' variety of standard Bemé, meaning it is considered distinct from more "polite" or "prestigious" ''[[Bemé#Tak vs kriyal|tak]]'' varieties; however, Bijun itself is generally still considered a distinct dialect/sociolect from the broader ''kriyal'' varieties, with its own distinct phonology and vocabulary.
