  • In Standard German proper, ‹g› in the syllablecoda is pronounced[k] except for the unstressed syllableig, 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 ofig) 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.
