New Urban Sjowaázh is an emergent variety of Sjowaázh spoken by the youngest generation of the urban middle class.

Origins

Compared to other groups, urban women speakers of Sjowaázh speak somewhat more uniformly, in a less dialectal and somewhat more posh style of speech. Young women being the main drivers of linguistic change, a version of the gynelect is on its way to becoming a new, non-posh standard for Sjowaázh.
