Norwegian

Pronunciation

• (letter name): IPA^(key): /ɡeː/
• (phoneme): IPA^(key): /ɡ/, /k/, /j/, /ʃ/, /ɪ/

Letter

g

1. 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 [ʒ].
• 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.
