Hi, I have a question about these 3 sounds: Do they have the aspirated aspect, like in table/peace/key? Or are they non aspirated, like in stab/space/ski?
Thanks. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

"The voiceless stops /p/, /t/, /k/ are aspirated except when preceded by a sibilant. The obstruents /b d ɡ z ʒ/ are voiceless [b̥ d̥ ɡ̊ z̥ ʒ̊] in the Southern varieties."

Yes, they are aspirated. In contrast to English however, German P T and K are also
aspirated when they occur in the middle of a word or at the end of it. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Yes. Everywhere. That's why Germans find it so hard to learn the non-aspirated sounds. 1 person has voted this message useful |
