[edit] [view] tba (Bogcroak Ribbinne)This dialect is primarily spoken by elders, and only shifts a few things: creaky sounds are far more glottalized, long syllabic consonants are longer, the alveolar and palatal clicks have a percussive release, tone partially remains, and a handful of out-of-use words appear in this dialect.
