⟨x⟩ alternates [[w:Idiolect|idiolectally]] between /t͡ʃ/ or /ʃ/; more rarely, it may also be /t͡s/. Montecol speakers are especially more likely to pronounce ⟨x⟩ as /ʃ/ in fast speech; however, whether /t͡ʃ/ or /t͡s/, ⟨x⟩ is always [[w:Affricate|affricated]] after a nasal. Montecol speakers in the Spanish village of Coña-is-Monxes always pronounce ⟨x⟩ as /t͡ʃ/ in all positions even in fast speech; this is usually attributed to the influence of Spanish.

* ''Ona poma '''il''' nío'' "The boy's apple", ''nío'' "boy" is with a consonant so pronounced [[Help:IPA|[ona ˈpɔma i ˈɲiw]]],
