Pronunciation

* Southern pronunciation

Stress
Stress falls on the first syllable of words, and on the first element of compound words. The final syllable of a multi syllabic word is unstressed.

Reduplicated Consonants and Vowels
Standard Grüvi has long vowels and consonants, written in the orthography as reduplicated letters. Many southern dialects have been more conservative in how rapidly they are shifting away from the older double articulated forms of most words, though the influence of the Harlapad dialect is only totally absent from isolated mountain communities in the far south of the country.
