Frederic and Roger,

I am not aware wether this was allready mentioned before, but there is
an area in the northeast of west-flanders, where they clearly use this
glottal stop.
As far as I know it seems to die out, especially in the small town of
Tielt where the youngsters apparently do not use it anymore.
They say: "s'oan' s'ip" (Skoan skip - nice ship)


greetings
