"Ch" has two pronounciations, one of which is like the English "wa''tch'''", and the other of which is like the word "loch" or "ich" in German, i.e. not as "lock" or "ick". Sometimes to distinguish these, a cedilla is used, e.g. Padjer y Çhiarn or Purt Çhiarn (the Manx for Port Erin). "Gh" is a similar guttural sound, not to be found in modern English. The "th" in "thalloo" is also pronounced just as a "t". | "Ch" has two pronounciations, one of which is like the English "wa''tch'''", and the other of which is like the word "loch" or "ich" in German, i.e. not as "lock" or "ick".
