Comments: Interdentals /θ ð/ and /ʔ/ are retained in borrowings from Standard Arabic. /p v/ occur in loans. /eː/ is sometimes realised as /ie/, which is "more common in the speech of women and men of rural origin". Etymological /aj aw/ were contracted to /eː oː/; status of new diphthongoidal combinations is uncertain.
