I disagree! When I last talked to Philip Jenkins, who runs toilet circle, he called G two yoyos. I don’t know? @G2_Jake ?

It could be that Jake finds both Gee-two and Gee-squared acceptable pronunciations.

In old Norse tongues, the ei dipthong was pronounced like eye. And it still is in the Scandanavian countries that have ties to old Norse culture.

Well, Norse is not my native tongue, so I’ll believe you.

Also; Begleri is not pronounced b’ Glare-ee
A Greek guy posted up on Reddit that the correct pronunciation focuses the emphasis on the second syllable. Beg-LE(lee)-ri(ree).
Oh well🤓

Correct as always.
Also, for those interested, the “g” in begleri is not pronounced as “gee.” The word is written like this in Greek: μπεγλέρι. Instead of the “g,” there’s the voiced velar fricative, “γ” (if that helps with understanding how to pronounce it), which is no longer used in English. It did, however, exist in the past (Old English).
And everyone’s asleep…

Good one.
Hahahaha…
b’GLARE-ee (where emphasis is quite obviously on the second syllable) is the best approximation of the Greek pronunciation in the American English idiom. If you want to try and sound like a Greek native when you say begleri, by all means do so. But I’m not going to insist on it when it comes to American speakers.

Agreed. Nobody nowadays ever expects Americans to do or say things correctly.
They fully count on us to sound as ignorant as the average American is expected to sound.
As opposed to other Countries; where people will stay up all night going over and over word pronunciations until you can’t even hear their accent.
Here in the States; who cares? Start with low expectations just keep rolling…
