Final devoicing in Dutch edit
Please don't forget that final consonants are devoiced in Dutch, so zuig is actually zœy̯x, not zœy̯ɣ. And the same for zuigt and so on. —CodeCat 22:14, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- I thought it only aplies to the last letter, but apparently it's needed for all of the consonants at the end? I will do it like this now, thanks.

- Yes it applies to all of them, but that's not just because of final devoicing. It's just hard to pronounce that way as well. The same happens in English too: slapped is pronounced slapt because the d can't be pronounced after the p, it turns into a t. This happens in Dutch too, except in reverse because a word can't end in a d. —CodeCat 22:19, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Rhymes in -ing edit
I've undone the rhymes you added for -ing words. Rhymes in Dutch are counted from the stressed syllable, as in English, so the words you added don't actually rhyme. As a second point though... if you're not a native speaker of Dutch and you are having some trouble with these things (I see I talked to you before), do you think you should really be adding pronunciations? As a rule, adding nothing is better than adding something that's incorrect. —CodeCat 17:13, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
