Onderwerp: Old Saxon pronounciation of G
Van: Markus Haverkamp <mjhaverkamp at yahoo.co.uk>


Thanks, but I'm familiar with Old English pronounciation! It's the Old
Saxon which I cannot find any materials on. Most of the sounds are fairly
straight forward, e.g. a 'b' in between vowels will most probably be
pronounced like a 'v'. But what about the 'g'? Before a slender vowel: y,
g or ch? In between vowels: ch? etc. etc.

Cheers

Markus

Hi Mathieu,

In East-Brabant the word sounds like [t«Èly«r], the y representing a sound
as in dutch 'uur', but then short.

Best regards,

Roger
