>What's a 'voiced velar frictive'? Is it like the scottish 'ch' in 'loch'? In that case an english spelling of 'yoghurt' would be more likely to give the original pronounciation....

Hi Viv,

I don't know "loch" but, it similar like "gh" in "bought". You cannot spell in english exactly because we emphase "r" in turkish different from in english.
