But it indeed is! It's just that IPA chi *is* the voiceless uvular
fricative :)) .
, that is, back palatal voiceless fricative,
What's that for a sound? The palatal voiceless fricative is /C/ in X-SAMPA (c-
cedilla in IPA), but I never heard of a *back* palatal voiceless fricative.
Whatever it is, that description is not official IPA...

Surely, but AFAIK Dutch ch has exactly the same sound as g, namely /G/ or /x/
depending on dialect. Here for instance zich is pronounced /zix/...
