-== [[Lingala_language#Vowel_shift|Vowel shift]] ==
-While ɔ has shifted to o, o has shifted to u.
-Are these changes specific to Kinshasa?
-Are there any more vowel shifts? [[User:Rp|Rp]] ([[User talk:Rp|talk]]) 08:42, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
-:Yes these vowel shifts are mainly in Kinshasa. People who have spent time living in Kinshasa tend to carry this change back to their home area and may influence others. Similary kozi:la is often kozela and general tonality of phrases is lost in Kinshasa. Kinshasa probably have more people who were born in the provinces than were born in Kinshasa - my experience is that people born in Kinshasa corrupt the language with abreviations (nazoya instead of nazali koya [=I'm coming]) so much that it can only be considered a dialect.
