Dialects

Egland & Bartholomew[5] found four dialects which have ca. 80% mutual intelligibility with each other, spoken in the following towns:

  • (San Juan) Ñumí, (Santiago) Nunduchi, (San Sebastián) Nicananduta
  • (San Antonio) Monteverde
  • (Santo Tomás) Ocotepec
  • (San Bartolomé) Yucuañe

Yucuañe is no longer being passed on to children.

gollark: CC's amount of global state is very annoying.
gollark: Code not working is the default state of it. To make it work is much harder than to make it not work.
gollark: Actually, maybe not, I'm not quite sure... oh well.
gollark: It has to be poorly written code which also does fancy stuff.
gollark: Anyway, in *most cases* suspension should work okay, though may result in errors in poorly written code.
