  When a word begins with a vowel in German it is
  automatically preceded by a glottal stop, whether it
  is stressed or unstressed or whether it comes in the
  middle of a sentence or not.

  Gary

  Another good reason for belonging to this list - I never even knew that!! 
Presumably my English ears can't hear it; I'll have to pay special attention 
now, both listening and speaking.

Hello Gary,

>>From my observations I would say that a majority of Flemish speakers do not
use this type of glottal stop. It is certainly not encouraged, on the
contrary.

Kind regards,

Roger Hondshoven

Beste Roland,

De West-Vlaaamse glottisslag wordt anders gebruikt dan in het Duits. De zgn.
Knacklaut (harde steminzet) wordt gehoord voor woorden (en soms ook voor
syllaben) die met een klinker beginnen.
Vroeger heb ik al eens vermeld dat de glottisslag  als substitutie voor een
intervocale medeklinker  (de t en de k) ook in Tessenderlo gebruikelijk is.

Met vriendelijke groeten,

Roger Hondshoven
