The phonemes {{IPA|/ɕ ʎ/}} are only found in some dialects; Standard Atlantic merges them with {{IPA|/ç j/}} respectively (cf. ''oichaly'' "bird" {{IPA|/ˈwaˈtɕaj ~ waˈtɕaʎ/}} or ''seix'' "six" {{IPA|/ˈsɛç ~ ˈsɛɕ/}}). In the dialects where {{IPA|/ɕ/}} is a distinct phoneme, {{IPA|[ç x]}} are in complementary distribution, with the former occurring before front vowels and the latter elsewhere. | The phonemes {{IPA|/ɕ ʎ/}} are only found in some dialects; Standard Atlantic merges them with {{IPA|/ç j/}} respectively (cf.

In the dialects where {{IPA|/ɕ/}} is a distinct phoneme, {{IPA|[ç x]}} are in complementary distribution, with the former occurring before front vowels and the latter elsewhere. The Canarian dialect of Cinet (Tenerife) developed a new {{IPA|/ɕ/}} (and {{IPA|/ʑ/}}) by deaffricating the palatal affricates, e.g. ''chastr'' "city" {{IPA|[ˈɕastər]}}, ''jarba'' "grass, herb" {{IPA|[ˈʑarba]}}. | ||
