Dialects
Mohawk has three major dialects: Western (Six Nations and Tyendinaga), Central (Ahkwesáhsne), and Eastern (Kahnawà:ke and Kanehsatà:ke); the differences between them are largely phonological. These are related to the major Mohawk territories since the eighteenth century. The pronunciation of /r/ and several consonant clusters may differ in the dialects.
| Underlying phonology | Western | Central | Eastern | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| seven | /tsjata/ | |||
| nine | /tjohtu/ | |||
| I fall | /kjaʔtʌʔs/ | |||
| dog | /erhar/ |
