editCentral Franconian
editEtymology
edit- /ɡ/ is from West Germanic stem-initial *g in most of Moselle Franconian; from *gg in Ripuarian and northernmost Moselle Franconian; in much of Ripuarian from *d, *þ after long high vowels.
- For the origin of /j/, see J. /ɣ/ replaces the former after back vowels.
Pronunciation
edit- /ɡ/, /ɣ/, /j/, (coda respectively) [k], [x], [ɕ]
Letter
editG
- A letter in the German-based alphabet of Central Franconian.
- A letter in the Dutch-based alphabet of Central Franconian.
Usage notes
edit- In the spelling of the Colognian Academy (Akademie för uns kölsche Sproch), any West Germanic or otherwise underlying *g is spelt g regardless of the pronunciation, except that ck is used for [k] in the syllable coda.
- In the popular German-based spelling, the sounds [ɣ] and [ɡ] are spelt g. The other sounds are represented by j [j] and ch [ɕ], [x] (except sometimes in unstressed ig for [iɕ]). In the coda, ck or rarely gg may be used for [k].
- In the Dutch-based spelling, [j] is j, [ɡ] is gk, coda [k] is k. The other sounds are spelt g.
- In the German-based spelling, g [ɡ] is always doubled after short vowels. However, g for any other sound is never doubled according the Colognian Academy. In the popular system, g for [ɣ] may be doubled after short vowels or not.
- In the Dutch-based spelling, g is regularly doubled after short vowels if the syllable were otherwise open.

editGerman
editPronunciation
edit- (letter name) IPA(key): /ɡeː/
- (phoneme) IPA(key): /ɡ/, (coda) /k/, /ç/, /x/
- In Standard German proper, ‹g› in the syllable coda is pronounced [k] except for the unstressed syllable ig, which becomes [ɪç]. In southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and South Tyrol, [ɪk] is often heard in the latter case, too. In northern and central Germany, conversely, coda ‹g› is traditionally always pronounced like ‹ch›, thus as fricative [ç], [x~χ]. Many speakers have now adapted to the standard or mix both ways, e.g. restricting the fricative (outside of ig) to some of the commonest words. Those who still use it generally, may nevertheless switch to [k] in enunciation or when reading out.
- Fricative realisations [j~ʝ~ʒ] and [x~ɣ~ʁ] also occur syllable-initially in various regions, but these are now clearly marked as dialectal.
