The majority of these deviations will be found to have 

 their origin from the nationality of the writers; it is easy to 

 recognise the English, French, German in them , and an addi- 

 tion of Russian will not escape observation. Others are owing 

 to more individual differences. But of course there is no doubt 

 that real diversities exist, which might require exceptions or 

 additions to the Greenland rules. Some of the most obvious 

 variations of sounds may be noted here: 



The character j in Labradorian often represents, besides the 

 j also the ss of Greenland, perhaps somewhat softened. 



The use of к instead of /c (q) in the vocabularies is not 

 owing to dialectic differences, as even in Greenland formerly 

 к was the only one used of these characters. The same may be 

 said about the use of m and n instead of p and t at the end 

 of words, when the next word begins with a vowel. 



In certain subordinate Greenland dialects we find к for t 

 at the end, and n for m at the beginning of some words, and 

 the verbal ending goq instead of voq.
