In a British TV program we saw on Dutch TV yesterday, in which people
swap lives for two weeks, there was a couple from Liverpool who
substituted [x] for final [k]. I think also medial /k/ (examples
forgotten); in all the examples I do remember there was a front vowel
before it. Examples (by 'ch' I mean ch as in Scottish English 'loch',
German 'Dach', Spanish 'Juan' etc.):
Pichnich, weech, musich, exachtly, bach.
Is this common in Northern English dialects or accents? I had never
heard of it before myself.

Are you sure it's [x] ? I hear it as a very heavily aspirated [kh].

Liverpudlian is an accent apart.

No. It's a Liverpool feature and not common to other Northern dialects |
