I made my sincere answer to Joey D - I see you say otherwise; have you more details about your statement (it's true I was speaking for official Dutch as it's learned somewhere, you're living in the very country what is not the same! Have you some records of the common Northern Dutch (not the Saxon or Frisian dialects, but the way they pronounce Dutch? I heard Dutch people (army) in my country and I noticed it seemed as they were of different Germanic speaking lands!!!) It's more striking when all regions Dutch people as gathered together what a tourist cannot hear when travelling in the country region by region. Thanks beforehand.
Moesan the official Dutch, or Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands, is with an hard G/CH. Very difficult to pronounce for other (even Germanic speaking) people. Fact or fiction but around ww2 they said they could detect German spy's when they had to pronounce the place called Scheveningen.[emoji6] very hard for not natives. People from Southern Netherlands don't use the hard G/CH but that's due to their local dialect.
