Datapoint Bislama/Urban/rural variation: phonology

No systematic study of urban/rural phonological variation has been published to date (the same holds true for regional dialect influences).

Anecdotally, some final consonant deletions in urban Port Vila speech of young speakers has been reported. But it is not at all clear if this is due to generational change and occurring across Vanuatu, or if it is localized in urban areas.
