All dialects of Oikan have a distinction between the ''kelhre'' register (''kelhria'') and the ''glede'' register (''gledia''). ''Kelhria'' is careful, enunciated speech. ''Gledia'' is natural, “lazy” speech. Certain phonological simplifications and allophonic processes only occur in ''gledia''. | All dialects of Oikan have a distinction between the ''kelhre'' register (''kelhria'') and the ''glede'' register (''gledia'').
