Now the western shortsightedness comes to roost:
""Yoghurt" is more similar to how the word is spelled in many European countries."

Let's seeeeee... In how many European languages is it spelt with that gastly :) aitch?

Yoghurt, yoğurt or yogurt, or less commonly yoghourt or yogourt - English
Iogurt - Catalan
Jogurt - Czech, Danish, Polish, Hungarian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian (latin)
Joghurt / Jogurt - German
Yogur - Spanish
Jogurtti - Finnish
Yaourt - French
Yogurt - Italian
Yoghurt - Dutch, Norsk (bokmål), Swedish
Iogurte - Portuguese
Iaurt - Romanian
Yoğurt - Turkish
јогурт - Serbian (cyrillic), Macedonian
Кисело мляко - sour milk - Bulgarian
Йогурт - Russian, Ukrainian

(Cyrillic h would look like Latin x, i.e. х).

So... let's see:
- with aitch, - 3
- ambivalent (i.e. both ways) - 2
- without aitch - 20

As long as it's in English, that's "majority of European languages"?
