This usage of k instead of g at the end of a word is quite common in the UK Pennine area. My now ex-neighbour came from the area, and I had some difficulty understanding her at first, even more so as they tend to join "the" and "to" to the following word too: e.g. the pub becomes t'pub, to church becomes t'church. I think these are quirks that can be found in any language, and make it so interesting to a language teacher like myself (and a foreigner in this country to boot!).
