Hi,
In Persian language there is a letter which is pronounced as if an animal growled or something was stuck in your throat and you try to put it out or to force a small amount of saliva come out of your throat. When we/you do this we/you produce the (kh) sound.
I want to know if there is any English word to have such a pronunciation.
Or is there any English name to have such a pronunciation in it?
I know that there are many in French and other languages but I want to know if one exists in English.
For example the french word: Merci = The (R) is pronounce (Kh) as if something is stuck in the throat.
Is there any name or noun or a word in English containing the (kh) pronunciation or not?
Thank you.
