**Overview:** Metaphony targeting upper mid vowels /e, o/ is a characteristic of Central Veneto (e.g., Zamboni 1974, Belloni 2009, Walker 2010, Perrone 2016), a dialect of Veneto spoken in northeastern Italy. In a closely related understudied dialect spoken in southern Brazil, namely Brazilian Veneto (locally known as Talian), metaphony is also observed (Frosi and Mioranza 1983). Although the phenomenon is reported as variable for both dialects, little is known about how such variation is structured. In this paper, we describe how we have developed a corpus of Talian, and how we use said corpus to explore the structural conditioning of metaphony in the language. We show that metaphony in this dialect is asymmetrical, as it applies at different rates for /e, o/.
