H in English phonetic [

But c’h can be pronounced in 2 others distinct ways which don’t exist in French.
I wouldn’t be surprised if English speakers stood a better chance to get the 3 c’h sounds right better than French speakers.
Ask the locals who still speak Breton, a diminishing minority, sadly.
Weirdly, there’s a Wiki entry in French, Breton, Italian, Polish and even Norwegian (Norsk Boksmål) but no entry in English
