There is no agreement in the literature regarding the precise articulation of /w/ and /gh/ (when realized as an approximant).  The dispute lies in whether or not the sound may be considered a ''labialized'' velar approximant, or a true labiovelar one.  Although the complex historical relationship between Proto-Germanic *<s>''ɡ''</s> and <w> seems to imply a labialized velar approximant, in the present language both [ɰʷ] ( [w] ) and [ɰ͡β̞] ''may'' be heard in dialect, and so to avoid confusion the authors have chosen to use the graph <ɰʷ> in describing this sound.

B

<b> is [b].


G

<g> has no set pronunciation, but instead is used to denote a number of glides.

R

<r> is pronounced [ʀ] when alone and in syllable-initial clusters. It is pronounced [χʰ] before [pʰ] and [kʰ], and is silent before [sʰ], [tʰ], [d], [n], and [l], and after [ɛː]. In most dialects it is silent word-finally, though a few now render it [ɹʷ].

There is no agreement in the literature regarding the precise articulation of /w/ and /gh/ (when realized as an approximant). The dispute lies in whether or not the sound may be considered a labialized velar approximant, or a true labiovelar one. Although the complex historical relationship between Proto-Germanic *ɡ and <w> seems to imply a labialized velar approximant, in the present language both [ɰʷ] ( [w] ) and [ɰ͡β̞] may be heard in dialect, and so to avoid confusion the authors have chosen to use the graph <ɰʷ> in describing this sound.
