Re: German /OY/ (ex: Cloakroom)

Hi,

I've always transcribed the <eu> sound as /OI/, because that's how I'd
perceive it. However, looking closely at my own pronunciation, it's more
something like [OY_-] or [O1] I think. That is, the second part is [Y]-like, but
not as rounded, especially before palatal consonants, like in <euch> or
<euer>, which are [OY_-C] and [OY_-6]. Shall I make some recordings for you
to analyse when I'm back home later today?

Regards
Carsten
