-<poem>
-Jüngerriems accent of Reber: retroflex ->alveolar
-so ʈʂ, ʈʂʰ, ʂ pronounced as ts, tsʰ, s
-Lerzkorren accent: like the Jüngerriems accent but click free
-clicks -> uvulars as in bruusing
-Frintermien: retro and click merge
-into click
-/ʂ/ -> sje
-tone mergers: Jüngerriems and Lerzkorren have something funny going on with tones (retroflexes cause a tone change)
-the Keimian accent would be the weirdest
-vowel + ng -> nasalized vowel
-unaspirated stops are voiced
-(and sometimes become fricatives)
-vowel + m -> nasalized vowel + w
-or maybe no w
-clicks become semitic style emphatics
-it's perhaps the hardest accent to pull off for someone from HRJ
-sorry, vowel + m,n,ng -> nasal vowel + m,n,(optional ng)
-vowels get uniformly tensed
-ɛ, œ -> e,ø
-/i/ can sound like an apical vowel
-(think mandarin)
-then vocab differences (Etz vs Jeng ...)
-keimian tone mergers:
-2 3 4 5 6-> high falling, mid level, mid falling, mid falling, low level, low level
