=====Phonetic differences=====

In general, the pattern seems to be that voiceless consonants tend to get voiced, but this is not always the case.

===Odezyë dialect===

The Odezyë dialect is phonetically not very different from standard Moshurian, but it does have a bizarre mannerism that cannot be found in any other dialect- that being the suffix ''-áktu''. It is placed directly after any sort of proper noun, including names~~. The origin of this is heavily debated- although the most prominent theory claims that it may come from the Aquq genitive suffix ''-et’ḛ''~~.

===Far East dialect===

The entire existence of the Far East Moshurians(''Dmuriékh''; <small>Moshurian:</small> [[IPA for Moshurian|<nowiki>[~~dˈmuɽi̯ˌex~~]</nowiki>]]) is shrouded in mystery, but they seem to speak a certain dialect of Moshurian that only slightly varies from the standard Taráhus dialect.

====Phonological differences====

* /u/ ~~→ [ʊ] or [ɯ] in some cases~~

* /ə̃/ is pronounced /ʊ̃~ɯ̃/.

* ~~[VN]<ref>Vowel before nasal consonant. Quite common in the Eastern subgroup of dialects.<~~/~~ref> → [Ṽ]~~.

* /ɽ/ is realised as an alveolar trill /r/ after /p b/; this trill is realised as an uvular trill /ʀ/ after /g/.
