Thanks for the information, Shay. Being German, I'm used to producing unladylike spit sounds. ;-)

you're welcome :-)

I think it's a shame that this sound doesn't exist in English.

It does, but without being a part of a word. :rolleyes:

Well, the Scottish have it, don't they? Like in "loch", for example?

The Irish have it, too. I'm not sure if the Welsh or linguistic members of the Celtic branch have that particular sound. *shrug* I believe Russian and some of the members of the Slavic languages have the same sound (Alexander? Any input?)
