Appendix:English terms where 'ch' sounds as 'sh'

The ch digraph in English represents at least three phonemes, and a particularly less common phoneme for it is //, as opposed to // or //, the latter mostly in words of Greek origin. 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. Formerly, was the usual pronunciation of for ch in French, but has been  for centuries. (Currently French uses the trigraph tch for .)
