Sounds in English not normally found in Norwegian
We have an assignment where we are supposed to locate the phoneme sounds that are not normally found in Norwegian in these words; German , Thanks Mother, Children , Measure , Zeal , Wonder. I am supposed to identify the sound an classify it. Here is my solution so far, I was wondering if anyone could let me know if I'm on the right track, I am not really sure which sounds are not normally found, but I have tried to find them.
The consonant phoneme /d?/ in “German” does not exist in Norwegian. It is a voiced (lenis) alveolar affricate.
In the word thanks, the sound at the beginning /?/, is hard for Norwegians to pronounce. It is a voiceless (fortis) dental fricative.
The sound /ð/ is also hard to pronounce, it is a voiced (lenis) dental fricative.
The sound /t?/ in children does not exist in Norwegian either, and the sound is a voiceless (fortis) alveolar affricate.
The sound /?/ is a voiced (lenis) alveolar fricative.
The /l/ sound is a alveolar approximant
