A lot of it is slang, but some are:

coin, change - quenig (kenig)
magazine - magasín (magasin)
group, gang - riñion (rhyniwn)
England - sasin (Saesein)
darn! - aldiól! (a'll diawl)
Chick, Woman - bel (bel)

"Sasin" is a kind of odd case. Montreianos should have had no problems
with the "ei", but it became pronounced as /i/

Fascinating :). The Montreiano language board worked quick to establish
the written standard, and also to prove that they are no better than ony
other group of politicians.
