Is the G sound like goat (only more breathy) or like George? I’ve only heard it like “goat” in Texas.

- alex_smart 4y agoIt is like goat but more voiced, with a hint of h. In Indian languages there are four different g-like sounds (two that are somewhat like g as in goat and two that somewhat like g as in George).

- alex_smart 4y agoThat pronunciation is incorrect.
- tuukkah 4y agoCorrect as an English word, incorrect as a Hindi etc. word, right? When a language borrows a foreign word, it doesn't bring any new sounds (or letters) with it but adapts the word to the language instead.
