The name Loch comes from German, so we pronounce it l-o-ch (not l-o-k or lock). The final CH is pronounced lika Spanish 'j' or greek chi. SAMPA transcription is [lQx].

Easiest way to desribe this to an english speaker is 'like Scottish loch (or Irish 'lough')'. Not exactly the same as German loch to the purist, but near enough.
