The Intha dialect of Burmese is spoken by the Intha people, a group of Bamar descendants who migrated to Inle Lake in Shan
State. The dialect is spoken by 90,000. The Intha dialect is characterized by a retention of the /-l-/ medial . Examples include:
full: Standard Burmese ပြည့် → ပ္လည့်, from old Burmese ပ္လည် ground: Standard Burmese မြေ → မ္လေ, from old Burmese မ္လိယ်
There is no voicing with the presence of either aspirated or unaspirated consonants. For instance, ဗုဒ္ဓ (Buddha) is pronounced
[boʊʔda̰ boʊʔda̰] in standard Burmese, but [poʊʔtʰa̰ poʊʔtʰa̰] in the Intha dialect. This is probably due to influence from
the Shan language. Furthermore, သ (in standard Burmese) has merged to /sʰ/ (ဆ) in the Intha dialect. |
