toyih

Toyih refers to a specific pronunciation or spelling variation of the word "toy." This variation is most commonly found in certain informal contexts or among young children who are still developing their speech patterns. The substitution of the "y" sound for the "oi" sound in "toy" creates the "toyih" pronunciation. It is not a recognized word in standard English dictionaries and is generally considered a non-standard or childish utterance. In some cases, it may also be a phonetic spelling used in casual online communication or text messages to represent this particular pronunciation. The origins of this phonetic shift are likely rooted in the natural evolution of language and the ways in which sounds are simplified or altered during early language acquisition. While it may appear in written form, it primarily exists as a spoken phenomenon.
