North Frisian
Pronunciation
IPA (key ) : , ( in the syllable coda ) ,
( Sylt ) IPA (key ) : ( at the start of a word or stressed syllable ) , ( otherwise ) ,
Letter
g (lower case , upper case G )
A letter of the North Frisian alphabet , written in the Latin script .
Etymology
Word-internal or final ⟨g ⟩ alternates with ⟨ch ⟩ in many cases. Originally this alternation reproduced closely the pronunciation: voiced and devoiced respectively. For example, kuuch > kuuger reflected > , whereas fraag > fraagen reflected > .
Most contemporary dialects have eliminated the voiced fricatives , devoicing them to , in coda and otherwise hardening them to (similarly to northern Standard German). This means that the pronunciation can still be deduced from the spelling, but it has become inscrutable why kuuch has final ⟨ch ⟩ and fraag does not, given that both of them are now pronounced with in the singular and in the plural.
Sylt Frisian has also eliminated the voiced fricatives, but it has devoiced them to , in all positions. Accordingly, it has not only Fraag , but also plural Fraagen . With very few exceptions, ⟨g ⟩ is written after long or unstressed vowels and ⟨ch ⟩ after short stressed vowels.

Letter
g
The seventh letter of the Norwegian alphabet , written in the Latin script .
Usage notes
When g is written before j, they merge together and create the sound of y in you .
G is sometimes pronounced like the s in sugar in words of French origin, like genre , due to the fact that Norwegian lacks the voiced palato-alveolar sibilant .
In eastern and nothern dialects, g at the end of pronouns is pronounced like the y in boy . In western and southern dialects, the g is pronounced like g in great .
When g is written before t, it is pronounced like the k in king .
In Norwegian runic inscriptions from 17-19 centuries this letter is usually written as ᚵ .
