PRONUNCIATION.

at the beginning of a word or syllable like the English g in God: gut, good, not jut; Morgen, morning, not Morchen, as it is pronounced in some parts of Germany; geben, to give, not cheben nor keben as the g is pronounced by the Upper Saxons. The g at the end of a word, in Tag, day, or in any other word as final sound, is pronounced by the Lower Saxons like the aspirated d, and by the Upper Saxons like f; the proper sound, however, is not Tach, but Tag, and the g slightly aspirated. like h in the English words have, haben, hold, halten. Between two vowels it is less strong: Mühe, trouble; and ending a word it has no sound at all, Schuh, shoe.
