Velar and Palatal Fricatives of South Jutlandic

South Jutlandic is one of the most famous Danish dialects. It is spoken in the southernmost part of Jutland and also in parts of northern Germany. Unlike in Standard Danish, South Jutlandic has palatal and velar fricatives. They are consonants which are also used in German. The following list gives examples:

bagefter bachætte (afterwards)

bog boch (book)

kage kach (cake)

pige pich (girl)

rigtig richte (correct)

sprog sproch (language)

stige stiich (ladder)

syg sych (sick)

særlig særrlich (particular)

tog toch (train)

The velar fricative is used after back vowels and the palatal fricative is used after front vowels. Words such as kach and toch have the velar fricative, and words such as richte and sych have the palatal fricative. South Jutlandic differs significantly from Standard Danish not only in vocabulary but also in phonology.
