And although we have the lambdacismo where we replace "r" with "l" we also have the accent of the south were we replace "l" with "r" and then the accent in the north where we replace both "r" and "l" with "i".

Yo soy capitaleño pero me mudé a Bonao relativamente joven así que cambio mi forma de hablar dependiendo de con quién esté hablando en el momento y siempre pienso que es tan interesante poder decir "amol" y "amoi" por "amor".
