	German phonology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since German is a pluricentric language, there are a number of different pronunciations of standard German which however agree in most respects.
		The German diphthongs are /a͡ɪ a͡ʊ ɔ͡ʏ/, for instance in Ei /a͡ɪ/ 'egg', Sau /za͡ʊ/ 'sow', neu /nɔ͡ʏ/ 'new', Säule /ˈzɔ͡ʏlə/ 'column'.
		In most varieties of German, the opposition between fortis and lenis is nullified in the syllable coda, due to terminal devoicing (Auslautverhärtung).

	German language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		German is spoken primarily in Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, in two-thirds of Switzerland, in two-thirds of the South Tyrol province of Italy (in German, Südtirol), in the small East Cantons of Belgium, and in some border villages of the South Jutland County (in German, Nordschleswig, in Danish, Sønderjylland) of Denmark.
		German used to be the language of commerce and government in the Habsburg Empire, which encompassed a large area of Central and Eastern Europe.
		German is a member of the western branch of the Germanic family of languages, which in turn is part of the Indo-European language family.

		German final devoicing (or fortition in a growing number of recent views, like those of Iverson and Salmons, Jessen and others) is almost certainly a complete neutralization (Fourakis and Iverson, Jessen, see now Piroth and Junker) when speakers are unaware of the task in an experiment.

	Chael's Work
		I am a linguist, a phonologist at that, and mostly interested in prosody in several domains, and whatever enters its computation, be it focus, syntax, or even phonology.
		This paper looks at the distribution of the tense and lax vowel series in German, and illustrates that generalizations about the distribution of contrasts cannot be stated in phonetic terms---at least if one looks at prosodically defined environments.
		Argues that once the different phonetic realization is controlled for, the phonology of laryngeal contrasts in Dutch and German is essentially identical, and differs from that of English only in one parameter.

		First, he explores the theoretical foundations of 'metrical phonology' and in so doing shows that the current model can be significantly simplified: auxiliary devices such as 'prosodic categories', 'metrical grids' and segmental stress features are shown to be unnecessary.
		Secondly, he applies the model to a wide range of German and English data and in particular provides a detailed account of the stress patterns of German words - native and non-native, morphologically simple and complex.
		The many similarities between German and English phonological structure are thereby strikingly illustrated.

		In older medical text- books which listening to the chest with a stethoscope, the physician is instructed to tell the patient to enunciate "ninety-nine." This actually makes very little sense.
		The origin apparently is from an early translation from the German in which the German term-equivalent used in the original text for what was translated as "ninety-nine" does involve strong expirations and so is a useful tool in examination.
