Apma has three dialects. This list is in Suru Mwerani, the most widely-spoken.

This is extracted from Bongmehee, an Apma-Bislama-English dictionary, by Andrew Gray & Pascal Temwakon. Based on earlier work by Cindy Schneider.

• "ng" represents velar nasal,
• "bw" and "mw" labiovelarised consonants.
• "ts" is written and pronounced "j" by some.

Verbs beginning with v and w change this to b and bw in imperfective aspect (present tense).
