The Tavoyan or Dawei dialect of Burmese (ထားဝယ်စကား) retains /-l-/ medial that has since merged into the /-j-/ medial in standard Burmese and can form the following consonant clusters: /ɡl-/ /kl-/ /kʰl-/ /bl-/ /pl-/ /pʰl-/ /ml-/ /m̥l-/. Examples include မ္လေ (/mlè/ → Standard Burmese /mjè/) for ground and က္လောင်း (/kláʊɴ/ → Standard Burmese /tʃáʊɴ/) for school.
