Marco,

In Westflemish , "le''er" (lekker) is also common, but the glottal stop
I was talking about is very specific, because it occurs after an "s"
replacing the guttural "ch", which for non users is extremely difficult
to pronounce.

>I think I metioned this before, but many dialects of Zeelandic use glottal
>stops, usually in stead of a k (like Roger already pointed out for some
>Brabantish dialechts). These include the dialects of the western part of
>the isle of Zuid-Beveland, the western part of Noord-Beveland, the west of
>Zeeland-Flanders (the area bordering the north of West-Flanders, mentioned
>by Denis), some villages on the isles of Schouwen and Tholen and the whole
>of the South Holland island of Goeree-Overflakkee.

>Some examples, Dutch - Zeelandic (English):

>bakker - ba'er (baker)
>lekker - lè'er (tasty)
>steken - ste'en (to sting)
>mannetje - manne'ie (little man - notice what Frédéric wrote about this
word)
>trammetje - tramme'ie (little tram)
>aardappels - petao'en (potatoes)
>etc.
