Several subdialects of Savoyard exist that exhibit unique features in terms of phonetics and vocabulary. Among them, many words have to do with the weather: bacan (French: temps mauvais); coussie (French: tempête); royé (French: averse); ni[v]ole (French: nuage); ...and, the environment: clapia, perrier (French: éboulis); égra (French: sorte d'escalier de pierre); balme (French: grotte); tova (French: tourbière); and lanche (French: champ en pente).
Savoyard has been the subject of detailed study at the Centre de dialectologie of the Université de Grenoble, currently under the direction of Michel Contini.

The fifth and final book concerned the specific issues concerning the education of girls, using as an example a fictional girl named Sophie, raised and educated to be Emile's wife.
Aside from his theories on pedagogy, Emile also includes a character named Savoyard Vicar, widely known to have been the mouthpiece for Rousseau's religious ideas, and was written to be an example for the way in which religious matters should be discussed with young people.
Savoyard Vicar is also believed to have combined the traits of two Savoyard priests whom Rousseau had known in his childhood: Abbé Gaime from Turin and Abbé Gâtier from Annecy.
