Usage notes

edit

Word or stem-initial ⟨s⟩ is always voiceless. Otherwise the voice distinction isallophonic in Sylt Frisian:[z] occurs intervocalically after a (stressed) long vowel, else[s]. In the other dialects the distinction isphonemic. 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. Syltsjocht vs. Mooringschucht.
