yogurt or yoghurt

[squarebear]

How do you spell this word? Some say it is yogurt, others say yogHurt.
Is there a correct way of spelling it or are both versions correct?

You forgot yogourt, lol

They're all correct.

Nice one Naz, I'll stick to "yogurt".

[NazNomad]

I don't write it often, but I think I use the 'h' ...

[squarebear]

Does the flavour of it affect the spelling? ;-)

[NazNomad]

Yes. Strawberry yoghurt is spelled differently to Vanilla yoghurt. :-P

The earliest use of the word in English (17th century) spelt it as yoghurD, but the Oxford English Dictionary claims the word in Turkey - from whence the stuff came, apparently - is spelt yoghurT. It also lists a whole variety of alternative spellings, but the majority of those DO contain the 'h', so I'd always go with yoghurt.
