Stød (Danish pronunciation:, [1] also occasionally spelled stod in English) is a suprasegmental unit of Danish phonology (represented in non-standard IPA as ˀ ), which in its most common form is a kind of creaky voice (laryngealization), but it may also be realized as a glottal stop, especially in emphatic pronunciation.

In English, the glottal stop occurs as an open juncture (for example, between the vowel sounds in uh-oh!, [9]) and allophonically in t-glottalization. In British English, the glottal stop is most familiar in the Cockney pronunciation of "butter" as "bu'er". Geordie English often uses glottal stops for t, k, and p, and has a unique form of ...

Map of main Danish dialect areas. The Danish language has a number of regional and local dialect varieties. [1] [2] These can be divided into the traditional dialects, which differ from modern Standard Danish in both phonology and grammar, and the Danish accents, which are local varieties of the standard language distinguished mostly by pronunciation and local vocabulary colored by traditional ...
Glottal ingressive is the term generally applied to the implosive consonants, which actually use a mixed glottalic ingressive–pulmonic egressive airstream. True glottalic ingressives are quite rare and are called "voiceless implosives" or "reverse ejectives".
