phenomenology

A certain affinity to the " u " is noticeable . Often vowels (especially " o ") are replaced by a "u" or shifted in the direction of a "u":

  • Summer sun → Summasunn [ˈsʊmasʊn]
  • so → sou (the o is also spoken) [soʊ]
  • whence → wuhea [vʊˈhɛɐ]
  • Bag → Gugge (l) [ˈgʊgə] or Dudde [ˈdʊdə]

However, “ironing” becomes “bichln” (length of the “i” like that of the “ü”). Or biggle [ˈbɪglə]

Unless it is split into two syllables, " st " becomes " sch " or " schd ":

  • do you have → hosch (d) (you) [hɔʃ (d)]
  • Hamster → Hamschda / Homschdor [ˈhamʃdɐ]
  • Mist → Mischd (e) [ˈmɪʃd (ə)]
  • Box → kaschde [ˈkaʃdə]

" He " as a final syllable is pronounced as " a ":

  • Flieger → Fliga [ˈfliːgɐ]
  • Master → Meeschdor (or Meeschda or Moischda, depending on the place) [ˈmeːʃdɐ]

The belittling " ... chen " is almost always spoken in the singular as " ... le " and in the plural as " ... li ":

  • Bunny → Häsle [ˈheːslə] → Häsli [ˈheːsl]
  • Girl → girl [ˈmeːdlə] → girl [ˈmeːdlɪ]
  • Little humps → Höggerle [ˈhœgɐlə] or Heggerle [ˈhəgɐlə] → Höggerli [ˈhœgɐlɪ] or Heggerli [ˈhəgɐlɪ]

Consonants are "softened":

  • super → subba [ˈsʊbɐ]
  • look → gugge [ˈgʊgə]

Other special features :

  • Alla = filler word, introductory and farewell formula [ˈalɐ] also depending on the function and emphasis [ˈala (ː)]

z. B. alla [ˈalaː] do gud, alla [ˈalaː] gemma, alla [ˈalɐ] hob, alla [ˈalɐ] bye, ...

  • es = prefix for feminine first names and nicknames
