The standard German pronunciation of the '-ig' ending?
Guten tag!

So I noticed that there different ways to pronounce the '-ig' ending as in ''siebzig'' and "richtig''.

I would like to know what the standard German pronunciation is for these words.

1-pronunced as (ich)
2- ''k'' sound as in ''Car'' in English.
3-And maybe ''sh'' sound as in ''fish'' in English.

Danke.

Answer

Another option would have been "g" (as in "get"), perhaps that was too obvious. ;-) But it's number 1 – see, for example:
