Ganyama dialect

The Ganyama dialect [阜山丞言; がんやま・じょうげん] is one of Kanton’s most insular dialects, and it is almost never spoken outside of Ganyama Prefecture. Some have described it as being like the Aoma dialect mixed with the Zōhai dialect. It is frequently described as being hard to understand, with many words and phrases being completely different from Standard Kantonese. 
== Features ==
* - /j/ coming after /n/ will result in a /hj/ sound. Therefore, the name ‘Ganyama’, which ordinarily sounds like /gan.jama/, is said /gan.hjama/. Another example might be 言 [genyo, language], which 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 Ganyama 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, -さん, will change to さがい.
* - 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 -かせん to -ざん.
* - The imperative mood becomes -よちゃ.
* - The /fu/ sound will often become more like the /bu/ sound.
* - Questions are marked by the particle -なあ.
