[QUOTE="Storm_Crow, post: 243361, member: 1695"] As with all pipe smokers, I've been taught that the city in Syrian from which latakia tobacco comes from is pronounced lah-tah-key-uh. When I look online, I find other sources that coroberate this. Since Syria has been in the news, the city of Latakia has found its way into more than one news story across the networks, and what surprised me was that not a single reporter pronounced it lah-tah-key-uh but rather luhtahkiya. At first I though it was just mispronounced, but after I began hearing it repeatedly, this began to make me question whether it was I that was saying it wrong. Anyone else notice this? [/QUOTE]
