That's dialect from Limburg ([`lIm.b6.r@G]) or Brabant ([`bra.bAnt]), and not commonly used in Hollands dutch (spoken in the big cities). Only southeners used the "soft g" as we call it... which kind of reminds me of the distinction of voiced vs. unvoiced consonants we had here lately. In dutch, a voiced [x] is called a "soft g" ([sAxt@ xe] or better [zaGt@ Ge]) Maarten
