phonology of Norn can never be determined with much precision because of the lack of source material, but the general aspects can be extrapolated from the few written sources that exist. Norn shared many traits with the dialects of southwest Norway. That includes a voicing of to after vowels and (in the Shetland dialect but only partially in the Orkney dialect) a conversion of and ("thing" and "that" respectively) to and respectively.
