I can't say that I've ever noticed this kind of aspiration in
Brabantish. Well, not in Western Brabantish anyway.

In certain cases however, palatalized final t/d ("mouillering") does
occur along the western fringes of Brabantish (towards river Dender),
where you could hear:

"a bajtsj" for "hij bijt"
"vajtsj" for "vet"
"wintsj" for "wind"...

Even though a short puff of air is released after the realisation of the
"t/d", I don't think this classifies as aspiration "pur sang".

Kind greetings,

Luc Hellinckx
