I don't know about Henrik, but this phenomenon is common in Urianian
at least. The highland dialects have voicing changes that sets them
apart from the lowland dialects, and since the cultural centre
formerly was in the lowlands, many power and administration words
have been adopted from lowland Urianian. Also, many foreign loanwords
have been adapted to lowland before they were borrowed further
