I was thinking which would be the main changes between standard
Hangkerimce and its most importand dialect Kizidanoce. The main
difference is that Hangkerimce is usually witten in the Hangkerim
syllabary and Kizidanoce is written in Latin alphabet... in the last
four centuries, both Kizidanoce and Hangkerimce had been in contact but
developed some different features.
Hangkerimce had become more tonal. Kizidanoce is still tonal but tones
are not phonemic. Kizidanoce is more regular in the sound changes.
Hangkerimce rules governing changes are more complex.
This is the way the vocalic sounds change in both Hangkerim and
Kizidanoce:
