Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b The phone [ʒ] occurs also often as a positional allophone of [j] when a final [ʃ] or [ɧ] of a word stem is either followed by a vowel of a grammatical suffix or becomes voiced under the influence of a liaison or due to coarticulation. Under normal circumstances, [j] is used to transcribe these.
  2. ^ Much like in related Luxemburgish,[1] /w/ must stay velar after /k, ts, (t)ʃ/; it is in free variation with [β] and [ʋ] in other pre-vocalic positions.
  3. ^ Only occurs on stressed vowels. Though a falling tone in Cologne, realizations vary by dialect and accent. Compare these "accent 1" words with their "accent 2" words /ˈʃtiːf/ "stiff", /ˈhuːs/ "house (nom./​acc.)", /ˈʃlɛːʃ/ "bad", /zeɪ/ "she", /kan/ "(I/​he) can" without Stoßton.
  4. ^ Only occurs on stressed vowels. Though a high tone in Cologne, realizations vary by dialect and accent.
  5. ^ Pure length oppositions are lost in unstressed syllables.
  6. ^ Idiolectal neologism for 'encyclopedia', hasn't gained wider recognition.
  7. ^ /ər/ (main allophone: [ɐ]) can, for some speakers, have the same realisation as unstressed allophones of /ɔ/.
  8. ^ a b As several other Germanic languages, Colognian has mid [ə] and open [ɐ] schwas. Care must be taken to clearly distinguish between the two. In English, the former appears in words such as balance, cannon and chairman and the latter variably in sofa, China (especially at the very end of utterance) and, in some dialects, also in ago and again, but one needs to remember that Colognian [ɐ] has no such free variation and is always open, just as [ə] is always mid. In some English dialects (e.g. most Estuary English speakers), /ʌ/ in words such as nut and strut is a perfect replacement for Colognian [ɐ], but the latter is an unstressed-only vowel that can also appear in open syllables, which generally cannot be said about the English /ʌ/.
