Line 13:
Yemenite pronunciation is not uniform, and Morag has distinguished five sub-dialects. Roughly, the points of difference are as follows:
*In some dialects, ''holam'' (long "o" in modern Hebrew) is pronounced /ö/ (anywhere from British English "er" to German o-[[Germanic umlaut|umlaut]]), while in others it is pronounced /ē/ like ''tsere''. (This last pronunciation is shared with [[Lithuanian Jews]].)
*In some dialects, ''gimel'' with dagesh is pronounced like English "j", and ''qof'' is pronounced /g/. In others, ''gimel'' with dagesh is /g/, and ''qof'' is Classical Arabic guttural "q". (This reflects the difference between the Sana'ani and Adeni dialects of [[Yemeni Arabic]].)
