  1. ^ It is likely to be misspelled and/or mispronounced by native English speakers, particularly involving failure to grasp that
    • German sch (at the beginning of each of the two syllables) is pronounced as English sh,
    • German w is pronounced as English v, and
    • German z is pronounced as English ts.
    Some English speakers omit the s that begins the second syllable and pronounce child and childe (instead of approximating either English shield or German [ʃɪlt]).
