-isch
Dutch
Etymology
Borrowed from German -isch. The native Dutch cognates are -s, earlier -sch.[1] The pronunciation /is/ is due to an earlier pronunciation standard, by which all German vowels were to be tense. (The contemporary German standard pronunciation is /ɪʃ/). More at -ish.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /is/
- (Some southern dialects) IPA(key): /ɪs/
