Judeo-Gaelic: Difference between revisions

** Voiceless stops (written פּ כּ תּ) are aspirated unless after a fricative, where they are written בּ ק ט. In Hebrew and Aramaic loans, this aspiration may be retained even after fricatives in careful speech.

** ''t d n'' are dental and may be slightly velarized. In some dialects ''t'' may be a fricative /θ/.

*''ț z c̦ ġ l ŗ'' arise from Old Irish slender t d c g l r. ''ł'' arises from Old Irish non-slender l. The Hebrew-script orthography points to the fact that /ʒ/ and /w/ were once pronounced as Czech ř and dark l, respectively.

* The glottal stop is used in Hebrew and Aramaic loans (where it repressnts syllable-initial aleph and ayin) by careful speakers.
