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. 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, /tʃ/ was the usual pronunciation of for ch in French, but has been /ʃ/ for centuries. (Currently French uses the trigraph tch for /tʃ/.)
