I confirm that we do distinguish "tacher" and "tâcher" in Belgium French (there may be sub-regional or sub-lectal variations, though). In the same way, we pronounce a long /a:/ in "pâte" and a short /a/ in "patte", etc. It's a difference of length only. BTW, there are other cases where the phonology of Belgian French has retained differences that seem to have disappeared in France (and standard) French: we distinguish "sot" vs. "sceau", "je prendrais" vs. "je prendrai", "brin" vs. "brun", a short /i/ at the end of "ami" vs. a long /i:/ at the end of "amie", etc. My wife, who is French, doesn't make any distinction between those vowels. 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||
