−	Dialects of the [[Poirih]] language spoken in [[Yuunli]] (all pronunciation indications in [[Wikipedia:X-SAMPA|X-SAMPA]]):	+	There are four groups of dialects:
		+	* Standard Poirih (not on the map)
		+	* West Mich-Inzl (shades of red/orange)
		+	* East Mich-Inzl (shades of blue)
		+	* Chirachi (shades of green)
−	== Pronunciation differences ==	+	People in [[Honkoa]] speak a dialect with western and eastern Mich-Inzl elements (purple on the map).
		+	<br>The closest relative of the [[Kazua]] dialect is the one spoken in [[Lankoin]], but the map can't reflect that.

There are four groups of dialects:

• Standard Poirih (not on the map)
• West Mich-Inzl (shades of red/orange)
• East Mich-Inzl (shades of blue)
• Chirachi (shades of green)

People in Honkoa speak a dialect with western and eastern Mich-Inzl elements (purple on the map).
The closest relative of the Kazua dialect is the one spoken in Lankoin, but the map can't reflect that.
