g
The letter g is used in Dutch.
Did you know?
- The Dutch g is so distinct that it is often used by linguists to identify a speaker's home province or city within the Netherlands.
- The specific way the Dutch g is produced involves vibrating the uvula, a small piece of tissue hanging at the back of the throat.
- The double gg in Dutch words does not change the pronunciation of the g but instead indicates that the preceding vowel is short.
