### Abubuwan Gheg

* No rhotacism: Proto-Albanian **-n-* remains *-n-* (e.g. *râna* "sand").
* Proto-Albanian **ō* becomes *vo*.
* Nasal vowels: Gheg retains the nasal vowels of late Proto-Albanian and the late Proto-Albanian **â* plus a nasal remains *â* (e.g. *nândë* "nine"). Although, the quality of the vowel varies by dialect, , , , etc. Some Northeast and Northwest Gheg dialects preserve the nasal in words such as  "five" while other Gheg dialects do not,  "five".
* Monophthongization: Occurs in some dialects of Shkodër in a few words, e.g.  *voe* "egg" and  *hae* "food".
* Phonological vowel length:  There is often phonological vowel length in most Gheg dialects. Some dialects of Shkodër have a three length distinction in vowels, for example, short:  "yoke", long:  "pen", and extra-long:  "yokes".
* a-vowel: In some dialects occurring in some certain words *a* may become a diphthong (e.g.  for *ballë* "forehead") or become  (e.g.  for *larg* "far").
* ë-vowel: Final -ë drops and often lengthens the preceding vowel.
* i-vowel: The *i* vowel in the word *dhi* (goat) can be realized as various vowels in the Central Gheg dialects:  (Krujë),  (Mountainous Krujë),  or  (Mat), as well as  or  in other regions.
* o-vowel: The *o* derounds to  in some words in some dialects (e.g.  for *sot* "today" in Krujë and among some Muslim speakers in Shkodër).
* u-vowel: The *u* vowel in different dialects occurring some words may vary, for example *rrush* "grape" may be , , , , or .
* y-vowel: The *y* vowel can remain as *y* (e.g. *dy* "two" in much of the Gheg speaking areas), derounded to *i* (e.g.  "two" in Debar), or becomes more open and less rounded to  (e.g.  "two" in Mat and Mountainous Krujë).  In other words in Central Gheg, the *y* vowel can become  as in  for *sy* "eye" (Mat and Krujë).
* bj/pj: These may yield *bgj* or *pq* in some dialects (e.g. *pqeshkë* for *pjeshkë* "peach" in Negotin).
* bl/pl/fl: These may become bj/pj/fj or even bgj/pq in some dialects (e.g. *pjak* for *plak* "old" in Toplica or  for *plak* "old" in Negotin).
* dh and ll: These sounds may interchange in some words in some dialects.
* h: This may drop in any position in some dialects.
* mb/nd:  Consonant clusters such as *nd* vary greatly by sub-dialect: *nder* "honor" can realized as , , , , , or .
* q/gj: In the Gheg dialects, *q* and *gj* may remain palatal stops  and , change to postalveolar affricates  and  (and thus merging with Albanian *ç* and *xh*),  change to alveolo-palatal affricates  and , or even change to alveolo-palatal fricatives  and .
* tj/dj: These may become palatal stops  and  in some dialects.
