The correct German pronunciation of words such as ich, mich and dich is made by arching the tongue towards the rear of the pallet. Neither the sh-sound or the kh-sound are regional dialects for pronouncing these words (although a Berlin variation if ich is icke). The ch-sound in these words resembles the 'h' sound made at the start of English words such as 'huge', 'humour' or 'humane'.

Certain German words ending in -ch, such as Loch, Koch, Kachel, Krach, are pronounced with a kh-sound coming from the back of the throat (as in Gaelic words such as Loch Ness, Lough Neagh).

Q: How do you pronounce words like Ich mich and dich in German. With a sh sound or a kh sound coming from the back of the throat. I've heard both pronunciations. Is it a regional thing?
