I have a couple more; for instance in the west (tending to northwest, I think - anybody got a map of Lojbanistan?) they say "tirhahitha" for "tirxyxi'a", and in the north they tend to reduce unstressed vowels. The words "zunle kanla" as pronounced somewhere (I'm not sure where) are untranscribable in any alphabet I know; the "nl" is pronounced as a nasal l sound. What's the capital? Is Bertcad it?
