in thread The Queensr˙che Situation

The Dutch ij is still regarded as a single syllable, but written as ij. Even in official documents the ij has been banned. I however bet that every Dutch person will have no trouble reading the ij when ij was meant and vice versa.

I think that many of you won't even see the difference in their browser (unless off course ij is not represented in your font).

    A single letter, really?

    Interesting IJ_(digraph)

    In standard German single vowels are always monophthongs.

    At least I know now where the Swiss canton of Schwyz got its y from :)
