Also, I appreciate you too, Moltrey. Pah-riss There's never been a semblance of an I in there before riss, nor is there in the French pronunciation.

Most American English speakers definitely pronounce 'Paris' like Pair-iss or Pear-iss, like the yokels that we are.

Evidence if any was required that ESL should learn British English. There's a U key on your keyboard for a reason!

Condiv posted:yeah, back home everyone calls it pair-iss, not pah-rii Though to be fair, there's a ton of poo poo like that in almost every language. "Japan" in Japanese is Nippon or Nihon, yet somehow it's Japan in English, Japón in Spanish, Ilbon in Korean, Riben in Mandarin Chinese, etc. At least the last one has the excuse of it being the way you'd read the characters in Chinese, but yeah. I've always wondered how that happens.

Who was the first rear end in a top hat to call España 'Spain'? It's not even close!

Eh, usually it's just that the original name got corrupted a long time ago and it's what stuck with those people. I mean, my real life name is basically one of the hundreds of variations on Wilhelm, for example.

Funky Valentine posted:More like España isn't close to it's true name, Hispania. :v Spaniards write my country's name as "Mejico". It always makes me laugh. From what I understand many foreigners have a lot of trouble with all the words we have with "X" and the variations and rules in how are they pronounced. (Nahuatl derived words are fun!) So the answer is imperialism and difficulty to pronounce a country's name.

It's part making foreign words fit a language's phonetics, part archaic names for places, and part hearing about a country second hand before actually visiting it. "Japan" is I think the Cantonese pronunciation of the kanji that are used for it, so Marco Polo reported back about it, and now all of Europe calls it that.

I feel like this should be a Stand. If you're in a country and pronounce its name wrong then, idk, you lose memories of your own country.

It's better, it's portuguese traders getting the name Jepang from Malay who got the name from some Chinese dialect and now everything is all goofy.
