Foreign Pronunciations


Midland Red

Recommended Posts

I've just been reading the spelling thread about Bjorn Knuts(s)on (plus Mike Broadbank(s)) and it brought to mind a conversation I had many many moons ago with a guy who complained about the pronunciation of Olle Nygren as "OLLEE NYE-GRUN" and he reckoned the real way to say his name was "ULLAY NEE CRANE"

I've always been a bit dubious about this (although he was Scandinavian)

Any thoughts or knowledge anyone?
