Pronunciation[edit]

@Lingo Bingo Dingo I just listened to the sound clip. Is the "e" between the "decoll" and "té" really pronounced in Netherlandic-Dutch? In my experience, in French as well as in Belgian-Dutch the letter is normally not pronounced. Morgengave (talk) 22:44, 21 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Morgengave It certainly is, at least north of the Rhine and Waal. See also the ANW and the ABN-uitspraakgids, both giving the same NL pronunciation with schwa. So I assume the BE IPA transcription would be /ˌdeːkɔlˈteː/? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 15:44, 22 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Lingo Bingo Dingo Yes, indeed. Morgengave (talk) 20:26, 22 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
