The Tavoyan or Dawei dialect of Burmese (ထားဝယ်စကား) retains /-l-/ medial that has since merged into the /-j-/ medial in standard Burmese and can form the following consonant clusters: /ɡl-/, /kl-/, /kʰl-/, /bl-/, /pl-/, /pʰl-/, /ml-/, /m̥l-/. Examples include မ္လေ for ground and က္လောင်း for school. Also, voicing only with unaspirated consonants, whereas in standard Burmese, voicing can occur with both aspirated and unaspirated consonants. Also, there are many loan words from Malay and Thai not found in Standard Burmese. In the Tavoyan dialect, terms of endearment, as well as family terms, are considerably different from Standard Burmese. For instance, the terms for son and daughter are ဖစု and မိစု respectively. Moreover, the honorific နောင် (Naung) is used in lieu of မောင် (Maung) for young males.
