The language encountered in Sowaár pop culture can be much less posh, depending on the region and social class of the characters, and the target audience. The most frequently used Sowaár varieties in pop culture are the urban middle-class lects (most creators live in or near one of the major urban centers, e.g. 'Onápaam, Jikhoó'ii, Camánreh). Using more unusual lects mark certain types of characters (e.g. rural lects for country hicks, broad urban lects for hypermasculine bros, a caricatured "gynelect" for ditzy teenage girls, Amísreg for posh villains, ...) | The language encountered in Sowaár pop culture can be much less posh, depending on the region and social class of the characters, and the target audience.

Generally, less polysynthetic Sowaár dialects tend to be more fusional and preserve more of the ablaut system of verbs. Conversely, more polysynthetic dialects have simplified their ablaut system drastically, or have no ablaut at all. (Is High Sowaár in the middle? Or is it an exception to this trend in that it is both highly fusional and highly polysynthetic?) | |||
