Arami dialect

The Arami dialect [空免丞言; あらみ・じょうげん] is one of Kanton’s most insular dialects, and it is almost never spoken outside of Arami Prefecture. Some have described it as being like the Hamae dialect mixed with the Aoma dialect. It is frequently described as being hard to understand, with many words and phrases being completely different from Standard Kantonese.
== Varieties ==
Arami has three varieties: Anzaki, which is spoken around the prefectural capital, Aramizō, which is spoken primarily in the north, and Aramidan, which is spoken in the prefecture's central region. 
== Features ==
* /j/ coming after /n/ will result in a /hj/ sound. E.g. the word 言 [genyo, language] becomes /gen.hjo/.
* Much like Aoma dialect, the /n/ sound on the end of a word will be aspirated heavily, becoming more like /nuh/. In southern Arami it is even common for the ending ん to become a full な.
* Intervocalic, beginning and ending /g/ is very likely to become /ŋ/.
* Combinations of /n/ and /m/ side-by-side in a word will result in a merged /m/ sound. For example: 電槇 [でんまき] becomes でっまき, or more likely でっまぎ.
* The standard polite negative conjugation, -ない, will change to -なない.
* An ending /a, o/ sound is likely to become /ə/ and reduced much.
* /z/ at the beginning of words will often become a lightly-aspirated /ʑ/.
*The prohibitive mood changes from -ながい to -ざあ.
* The imperative mood becomes -ばちゃ.
* The /fu/ sound will often become more like the /pu/ sound.
* Questions are marked by the particle -なあ.
