Name | Voiceless Velar Fricative |
Notes | Not found in Modern English. Like Scottish Loch Ness and German Bach. It is the pronunciation of Spanish j and g (before e/i) in most dialects : jefe, José, general, gitano (a few dialects, such as Caribbean Spanish, pronounce them as [h] instead). In parts of Puerto Rico the rolled r is pronounced this way: Puerto Rico [pueltoxiko]. |
