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])
