Line 10: Speakers normally use those pronunciations in both standard language and the local dialect. The only exception to that are speakers from the southern Netherlands that have undergone accent reduction training, in which case they will use a trill fricative when speaking standard Dutch. It is very rare for speakers to use the hard G when speaking [[Brabantian]] or [[Limburgish]]. In [[Ripuarian language\|Ripuarian]], the voiced {{IPA\|/ɣ/}} has been so fronted as to merge with the [[palatal approximant]] {{IPA\|/j/}} (except after back vowels); cf. Standard Dutch {{lang\|nl\|goed}} {{IPA\|/ɣut/}} ~~'good'~~ with {{lang\|ksh\|jód}} {{IPA\|/jot/}} in the [[Kerkrade dialect]], with both words meaning 'good'. Those dialects are also an exception to the rule, as they switch over to the respective standard pronunciation when speaking Standard Dutch (in which case {{IPA\|[{{IPAplink\|ɣ}} ~ {{IPAplink\|ʝ˗\|ʝ}}]}} is used) or, on the other side of the border (e.g. in [[Herzogenrath]], where the Kerkrade dialect is also spoken), Standard German (in which case {{IPAblink\|ɡ}} is used). The pronunciation with {{IPA\|/j/}} is [[Markedness\|marked]] in both the Netherlands and Germany (where it is commonly associated with the [[Colognian dialect]], which is another variety of Ripuarian). ==Pronunciation==
