/s/ is often aspirated or elided in word- or syllable-final position. As an apparent extension of this, it may even be aspirated in word-initial or word-medial, syllable-initial environments. This word-medial aspiration is most common near morpheme boundaries, and in the pronoun nosotros, 'we'. S-reduction is most common in the north of Honduras. It's less common in areas of Copán Department near the Guatemalan border, in Comayagua, and among the upper classes of Tegucigalpa. [4]
