[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 243482, member: 1365"] I heard one of the longest trained blenders in the world (did his training in England for Lord Comoy no less) pronounce it without the "uh" on the end...just "LAT-uh-kee". I have to assume he picked this up in England, but I don't know that. But it would make some kind of sense that regardless of how the Syrians pronounce it, it's pronounced differently in different parts of the world. Who's right? Why the Syrians are. Just try to take your out of town pronunciations downtown in the following cities and see how they look at you... New Orleans (I think it's something like "gnawlens") Amnyway, I live in Oregon (that's ORY-GUN), in the Willamette Valley (that's Will-LAM-ette) amid counties and towns and cities a whole bunch of which have native American name origins...good luck. My favorite is down in the coast...Yachats (that's YA-HOTS). Go figure. Here's a link to a thread with a zillion and one: [url=http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=544651]http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=544651[/url] [/QUOTE]
