Affricates

We only find [ts] in Pure Fiji English, e.g. touch > [tats], much [mats], each > [its], change > [tse:nts], beach > [bits], lunch > [lants], future > [fjutsɐ] , teacher [titsɐ] , etc., and occasionally [ʧ] or [dz], e.g. large > /laʧ/ , ginger > /dzindzɐ/.

Approximants

1. Post-vocalic /l/ is always ‘clear’ (i.e. non-velarized), e.g. sell > [sel].

2. /r/ is trilled or flapped.

3. /j/ and /w/ are weakly articulated.
