>> I on the other hand feel that
some of those gutteral sounds, like the palatal fricative that occurs
as an allophone of /x/ when situated around front vowels is quite
beautiful sounding, almost as much to me as the interdental fricatives
in English are.  Even simple words like "gleich" [glaiC] have a nice
sounding ring to them for me. <<

Me too, Tom... I always loved the sound of "ich mo:chte". It's present in
Jameld, as the Jameldic letter J is /Cj/.
