Dumb question about how Neuman is pronounced.

[Deus.exe]

.... klabusterbeeren

Klabusterbeeren = Dingleberries

 

[LSD-Studio]

Klabusterbeeren = Dingleberries

hehe, jep, that was the first word I tought our aussie

and was good for a laugh when I asked vino (hidden hand, st.vitus) so "sign my dingleberries" that brought me to chat with him bout his amps and stuff

I don't think one is wrong and the other right. It's common practise worldwide to pronounce foreign words in a way more typical for the recipient language.

Language is a funny thing, nickname for example comes from the german ekename (other name). What happened was the morpheme boundary shifted from 'an ekename' to 'a nekename' and folk etymology lead to the new word 'nickname'.

How do you pronounce Framus?

 

[Metaltastic]

Up until recently, "Fray-mus," though now I say "Frah-moose"

 

[Metal Overload]

How do you say Enchilada??

"neumann" is a NAME!

a name is pronounced in a certain way

 

[Soundlurker]

I know it is, but that doesn't make it that different. Just listen to the commentators on eurosport.
