Dialects

edit

Dialects are Bwol, Dimmuk (Doemak), Gworam, Jipal, Kofyar (Kwong), Kwagallak (Kwolla), and Mirriam (Mernyang).[1]

Blench (2019) lists the following language varieties in the Pan cluster.[2] Village locations are cited by Blench (2019) from Hon, et al. (2014).[3]

Note that in the villages names, orthographic oe stands for the mid central vowel ə, a practice that had been adopted by missionaries in the Shendam area during the 1930s, such as Father E. Sirlinger.[5][6][7]
