There are many dialects of Oikan. Oikan dialects can be divided into two groups: yod-coalescing dialects and yod-preserving dialects. Yod-coalescing dialects are dialects where the sound shift {dj, d͡zj, d͡ʒj}, {sj, ʃj}, {tj, t͡sj, t͡ʃj}, {zj, ʒj} → d͡ʒ, ʃ, t͡ʃ, ʒ has occurred. Yod-preserving dialects are dialects where said sound shift did not occur.
