German

[edit]
  1. "〈dsch〉 is used in German to write the sound [dʒ]."
    Isn't it simply <sch> being a trigraph for [ʒ] when preceded by a "d" in the same syllable, as it's <d>=[d]?
  2. "〈tsch〉 is used in German to write the sound [tʃ]."
    Isn't it simply <sch> usually being a trigraph for [ʃ], as <t>=[t] and <sch>=[ʃ] when not preceded by "d" in the same syllable?

"in the same syllable" because e.g. <Dschungel> is [ˈdʒ...], but <*Jagdschlucht> would be like [...d ʃ...]. -IP, 10:53, 13 July 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.133.98.61 (talk)

English also has the tetragraph "ngue", it's used in the word "tongue"

[edit]

the "ngue" in "tongue" sounds like /ŋ/ 2804:14D:8E8D:5B10:B9D8:7F8:40E3:5DCC (talk) 03:22, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
