Hi Mark,

I can describe the situation in Genral Dutch in Belgium (and for that matter
also, I guess, in all dialects):
f is a voiceless labiodental, v is a moderately voiced labiodental (in the
Netherlands, as far as we, Flemish people, can judge, it tends to become
voiceless), w is a voiced bilabial consonant with little liprounding
(therefore not like in French and English), neither is it (as, I think, very
often in Holland) a labiodental voiced consonant , although clearly
distinguishable from a voiced v.
I called the v "moderately voiced" in Flemish Belgium. When I hear Wallon
people, with a very good command of Dutch, speak, it always strikes me how
much stronger the voicing of v,z is in their way of speaking Dutch.

Kind regards,

Roger Hondshoven
