Just had another thought. The clusters: pf could be classed with the affricates. ty, sy, and hy could easily be confused/mispronounced as tS, S, and ç (the ich-laut)---- (S "sh" doesn't otherwise occur, but it could, couldn't it?) Perhaps the "careful" pronunciation ty, sy, hy could be formal or high register, with tS, ç reserved for the common folk.?
