yod-dropping

However, in Norfolk yod-dropping is found after non-alveolar consonants as well, and this seems to be unique.

Other changes affecting the phonology of local varieties are processes such as yod-dropping, yod-coalescence, and reduction of consonant clusters.

For the much more widespread deletion of /j/ in consonant clusters, see yod-dropping (and compare also yod-coalescence and yod-rhotacization).

Compare yod-dropping and yod-coalescence, described above (and also the coil-curl merger, which features the reverse process, /r/ /j/).

Non-coalescence and yod-dropping can be possible depending on the fluency of the speaker, however, in the [sj] sound of some words like consumer and pharmaceutical, for example.
