Windermere dialects mainly differ in accent and vocabulary.
Bjeheondian accents
Standard Mategian/USB
Vowels after aspirated consonants are pronounced with breathy voice.
Allophonic syllabic resonants in unstressed syllables: /əm ən əl ər/ become [m̩ n̩ l̩ r̩].
Fincreaș
Classical Windermere e and ä stay distinct unlike in other dialects.
Broad Fincreaș
Wieb
Tsăloș
Ä is like /e/
Ü is exolabial like swedish
While u is endolabial
And ü is typically a monophthong while i is between /i:/ and /əi/
Ea, ie, oa and ua are lax
Talman accents

Bjeheondian Windermere with a Skellan-ish accent
- /l/ is vocalized to [ɤ̯ˤ] and becomes [χˤ] after aspirated consonants.
- /el ol il yl ul eəl oəl iəl yəl uəl/ = [ɛɤ̯ˤ ɔɤ̯ˤ ɪɤ̯ˤ ʏɤ̯ˤ ʊɤ̯ˤ eːɤ̯ˤ oːɤ̯ˤ iːɤ̯ˤ yːɤ̯ˤ uːɤ̯ˤ]
- Voicing distinction becomes an aspiration distinction, and /ə/ is deleted after aspirated consonants.
- Stressed vowels are lengthened in final open syllables and before /m n ŋ r b d g f~v θ~ð/. This is how final voiced and voiceless stops are distinguished.
- TODO table: Canadian raising-like effects:
- i: long: [i:] ~ short: [ɪ]
- ie: long: [iə] ~ short: [jə]
Sătmaș
- th = [s̪~z̪] (like Basque z)
- s = [s̠~z̠] (Basque s)

Syllable-initial f, th, s are also voiced, in addition to syllable-final f, th, s.
