==Dialects== Mohawk has three major dialects: Western ({{lang|moh|Ohswé:ken}} and {{lang|moh|Kenhté:ke}}), Central ({{lang|moh|Ahkwesáhsne}}), and Eastern ({{lang|moh|Kahnawà꞉ke}} and {{lang|moh|Kanehsatà꞉ke}}); the differences between them are largely phonological. These are related to the major Mohawk territories since the eighteenth century. The pronunciation of {{IPA|/r/}} and several consonant clusters may differ in the dialects. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left;" ! !Phonology !Western !Central !Eastern |- !''seven'' |{{IPA|/tsjáːta/}} |{{IPA|[ˈd͡ʒaːda]}} |{{IPA|[ˈd͡ʒaːda]}} |{{IPA|[ˈd͡zaːda]}} |- !''nine'' |{{IPA|/tjóhton/}} |{{IPA|[ˈdjɔhdũ]}} |{{IPA|[ˈɡjɔhdũ]}} |{{IPA|[ˈd͡ʒɔhdũ]}} |- !''I fall'' |{{IPA|/kjaʔtʌʔs/}} |{{IPA|[ˈɡjàːdʌ̃ʔs]}} |{{IPA|[ˈɡjàːdʌ̃ʔs]}} |{{IPA|[ˈd͡ʒàːdʌ̃ʔs]}} |- !''dog'' |{{IPA|/érhar/}} |{{IPA|[ˈɛrhar]}} |{{IPA|[ˈɛlhal]}} |{{IPA|[ˈɛːɽhaɽ]}} |}
