Koko.Dk Hawk_McKrakken Anyone know any solid rules about which consonants get silenced in certain words and why? All I know is the T in words like 'det' get silenced. confused ask Hellsbitch or Adabydron on this one all I know is that a 'g' at the end of a word is always silent (and in the middle of some words) ie. Kage (keh) at the end is not always silent. It is pronounced in words ending in -ng such as seng, gang, and ting. Words ending in -ig always have a silent g, but not so with other vowels. brag, øjenlåg, bleg, anlæg, byg, skæg... edit: My fiancé disagrees with my dictionary regarding the first three, but with the last three he says the g. He also notes that in many cases the g is not really silent, but acts more like a u sound.Also, though the g is silent in kage, it is still a two syllable word, more like "kay-eh" than "keh."

Oh, and Hawk, about the silent letters.
Words that start with 'hv'. The 'h' is always silent, unlike in Icelandic. I cant think of anymore right now...

I'm not in a rural area and I say it all the time! mad D I do get the impression that it's used way more on the right side of the river in Saint Paul than on the wrong side of the river in Minneapolis, though.
