Usage notes

[edit]
  • Word or stem-initial ⟨s⟩ is always voiceless. Otherwise the voice distinction is allophonic in Sylt Frisian: [z] occurs intervocalically after a (stressed) long vowel, else [s]. In the other dialects the distinction is phonemic. The general tendency, here too, is that [s] follows short vowels and [z] follows long ones, but there are many exceptions to this rule of thumb.
  • Palatal ⟨sj⟩ is usually pronounced [ʃ] at the start of a word or stressed syllable. However, in Mooring and predominantly also in Föhr-Amrum Frisian, the spelling ⟨sch⟩ is used for these cases instead of ⟨sj⟩. Compare e.g. Sylt sjocht vs. Mooring schucht.
