Ch Words That Make The Sh Sound. I have compiled a list of such words that, I hope, will be especially useful to English learners. As promised here are the words for your unlimited use.
Almost all terms in this list are loanwords from Modern French; some, like Chicago and Michigan, originated as French transliterations of words from other languages.
If the child has a nasal quality on all of his sounds then you may want to refer the child to an ENT to make sure the child doesn't have VPI (Velo-pharyngeal insufficiency).
Other words with "ch" pronounced "sh" (not in video): chaise chalet (a type of house in the Alps) chateau (a large castle in France) chemise chinook (a warm dry wind in winter that blows down from the Rocky Mountains) chivalrous douche louche niche pistachio ruche. The sh sound is an unvoiced consonant made by the sound of the air coming out of your mouth. The ch digraph in English represents at least three phonemes, and a particularly less common phoneme for it is / ʃ /, as opposed to / tʃ / or / k /, the latter mostly in words of Greek origin.
