Why is the "CH" of Eichenwald pronounced in the English version like a "K" and not a real German "CH"?

 

[Josue Ortiz]

Because ‘murica

 

[Marceline Coppes]

Maybe americans cannot pronounce it the way germans can

 

[Zachary Saul]

eishenvalde, ja?

 

[Bryant Aaron Sample]

Because Hitler is still alive.

 

[Adib Dimassi]

I just call it the rein map

 

[Josue Ortiz]

They can’t even say ‘tamal’ right, they call it ‘tamale’

 

[Jane Caldwell]

If I remember right, doesn't Germany have certain accents throughout its different states that pronounce the ch as more of a k sound and others more of a ch sound?

 

[Ивайло Рашков]

I dont know but the map on the picture...i like this version.. a lot!

 

[Rashad Alkhateeb]

because its english

 

[Justin Horton]

Because it's a language difference

 

[Dane Oliver]

At least it's not like some people who pronounce it Eichenvida

 

[Christopher Staley]

Me and my friends pronounce it "Itch-in-wall-D"

 

[Kevin Stiles]

Pretty sure they base it off Olde English, similar to how we pronunce Loch as Loch Ness with a hard k sound

 

[Anthony Carter]

eye-k-en-vald. K so nasaly, though.

 

[Bilaal Ijaz]

I'm pretty sure that German people say "ch" like "k" the same way that we say "f" when something has a "ph"

 

[Curtis James Littlechild]

Phonological variation. Accents my friend.

 

[Justin T. Watson]
