Consonants

 * The northern dialect devoices b, d, g into p, t, k in unstressed and word-final position
 * R is normally like American 'r' but there is often variation with the alveolar trill at the beginnings of syllables. Sometimes the uvular trill 'r' [ʁ] is found in western and some northern dialects in initial position, with the middle and syllable final 'r' being replaced with [ɐ] as in German.
 * X is always pronounced [ks] except in northwestern dialects, where in voiced or stressed syllables it sounds like [gs] or [gz]
 * Z is pronounced [dz] in northwestern dialects in stressed syllables

Vowels

 * Æ is the umlaut of A in words; when umlauting, it is often pronounced distinctly by most speakers of Englisc (bar [baːr] -> bære [bɛːrə]). Some northerners pronounce bære and Bere the same ([beːre])
