Southern Greater Poland dialect

As in other Greater Polish dialects, voicing of word-final consonants before vowels and liquids is present here. Also typical of Greater Polish dialects, mazuration is not present. Vowels -y often diphtongizes to -yj, as in many Greater Polish subdialects, typically word-finally in the south but sometimes also word-medially in the west. A few instances of i after a soft consonant have shifted to y (and softness is retained): we chliywie; kuknyliy; mówiliy. Final -aj shifts to -ej. Slanted vowels Slanted é raises to y. Slanted ó raises to u. Slanted á raises to o. Nasal vowels Regionally, Word-medial -ę- denasalizes and raises: czyść (część). ę word-finally denasalizes to -e, and word-medially as well, except when before a sibilant, where some nasality is retained: bede (będę), but czyⁿś (część). ą word-finally is typically realized as -om, -óm. Nasal consonants can cause raising of e to generally y, but sometimes o or i. The ending -nąć and its inflections can shift to -nóć or sometimes -nóńć. Prothesis o labializes to ô not only word-initially, but also sometimes word-medially or word-finally. Consonants n, d, t can palatalize when near e, i, y (notably after these vowels, when typically they need to be before them): malinia (malina), but palatalization after y is rare: pierzynia||pierzyna.. ł is often lost, especially intervocalically: syszaam (słyszałam). kt shifts to cht. trz is simplified to cz. Some consonants assimilate in softness: dźwi (drzwi); przyjśli (przyszli). Sometimes j is inserted before palatal consonants: zajś (zaś). Final m is sporadically lost: poty (potem). Contraction Many uncontracted forms are retained, usually amongst older speakers: grajesz (grasz). ==Inflection==
