 "W" and "y" are generally dropped after a consonant, especially in South Gyeongsang dialects.For example, "soegogi" (쇠고기) 'beef' is pronounced "sogogi" (소고기), and "gwaja" (과자) 'confectionery' is pronounced "ggaja" (까자).Vowels are fronted when the following syllable has a "y" or "i", unless a coronal consonant intervenes.
