[sv] pistasch



I am just trying to identify the languages on a bag of pistachios before I
eat them. The most surprising was "pistasch" which I identified as
Swedish. Now my question: How is it pronounced? As a German, I would
pronounce it with [S] but I have never seen -sch- in Swedish words before.
