Recessive consonant features

Varieties of NfldE with ancestry in southwest England display several consonant features which are today highly recessive. These include syllable-initial fricative voicing (e.g. fan pronounced van, said pronounced zaid); syllable initial glide insertion, e.g. (h)ear pronounced like year, other pronounced yuther; and variable deletion of syllable-initial /w/ (e.g. wood pronounced [ʊd]), yet its insertion before certain back vowels, e.g. coil pronounced [kwɔɪ​l]. Somewhat more frequent in such varieties is (inherited) metathesis in s+stop as well as CrV sequences, e.g. wasp pronounced waps, children pronounced chil(d)ern. In a few southern Labrador communities, syllable-initial /v/ (e.g. vegetable) is pronounced by older speakers as a bilabial [w].
