Central Valencian

[2] Central Valencian features the devoicing of voiced sibilants[2] (e.g. casa [ˈkasa] 'house', joc [ˈtʃɔk] 'game', instead of /ˈkaza/ and /ˈdʒɔk/).

Additionally, ieisme, which affects a large part of the Valencian youth, is especially intense in this central zone.

Another innovation heard here and there is the aspiration of the /s/ before voiceless stops /p, t, k/: escolta [ahˈkolta] ('listen'), espera [ahˈpeɾa] ('wait').

[2] The rest of phonetic features of this dialect are not exclusive to this area, like for example the articulation of the stops in camp ('field'), cent ('hundred') and molt ('very'), which it is extended throughout all the southern coastal zone.

[3] It is in the verbal morphology where Central Valencian has a more differentiated behaviour in regard to the northern and southern dialects.
