Perspective
The main differences in pronunciation lie within the consonant system.
- Standard Polish /w/, spelled ⟨ł⟩, is pronounced /ɫ/, and standard /l/ is palatalized, yielding /lʲ/, like in the Northern Borderlands dialect.
- Standard Polish /x/, spelled ⟨ch⟩, may be palatalized, yielding /xʲ/
- The Southern Borderlands dialect differentiates /ɦ/ and /x/, spelled respectively in Polish as ⟨h⟩ and ⟨ch⟩
- The standard Polish palatal sibilants and affricates, /ɕ/, /ʑ/, /t͡ɕ/, and /d͡ʑ/ (spelled ⟨ś⟩, ⟨ź⟩, ⟨ć⟩, and ⟨dź⟩ respectively) are pronounced /sʲ/, /zʲ/, /tʲ/, and /dʲ/.
Some speakers speak with an accent according to the pronunciation of Ukrainian cognates.
