Bjeheondian accents

Bjeheondian accents tend to have more conservative consonants but less conservative vowels.

Voiceless stops /p t k/ are usually unaspirated [p⁼ t⁼ k⁼] in Bjeheondian accents. Voiced stops /b d g/ are fully voiced. Front fricatives /f θ s/ are by default voiced [v ð z]; they only devoice to [f θ s] when followed by an "inherently voiceless" consonant, i.e. one of /p t k ts x h ʔ/. (Thus obstruent voicing assimilation can be said to work like in Slavic languages or Israeli Hebrew.)

Standard USB

Allophonic syllabic resonants in unstressed syllables: /əm ən əl ər/ become [m̩ n̩ l̩ r̩].

/r/ is uvular [ʁ] and vocalizes when not before a vowel, as follows:

• ar → [aɐ~aː]
• er = är → [ɛɐ]
• ear → [eɐ]
• or → [ɔɐ]
• oar → [oɐ]
• ir = ier → [iɐ]
• ür = üer → [yɐ]
• ur = uar → [uɐ]

Vocalization of R has caused a chain vowel shift:

• ie üe ue ea oa > [ɪ: ø: ʊ: ɛ: ɔ:]
• i ü u e o > [əi əy əu ae ao]

Fincreaș

Classical Windermere tł stays distinct unlike in other dialects.

Wieb

Uses uvular [ʀ] for /r/ (like Phnom Penh Khmer and Israeli Hebrew). It even vocalizes final /r/ to [ɐ] like German does.

Other Bjeheondian accents are shifting towards this.

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

General Wen Dămea

• ä is pronounced [ɛ~ɜ~ɐ] and does not merge with e [e].
• Merged high vowels before /r/ are as follows:
  • ir = ier = [iər]
  • ür = üer = [yər]
  • ur = uar = [uər]
• /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]
• /p t k/ are aspirated unless after a fricative, 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]
• /f θ s/ are voiced after vowels to [v ð z], unless a voiceless consonant follows in sandhi.

Sătmaș

• th = [s̪~z̪] (like Basque z)
• s = [s̠~z̠] (Basque s)

Chăloa

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