    Re: International star name pronunciations

    NAT KING COLE ROUTE 66 - YouTube



    My native language is Slovak, whose orthography is rather phonetic, so I would pronounce Betelgeuse as "Beh-tehl-geh-oo-zeh" (with a hard G as in "golf"). So, I am applying Slovak pronunciation to a Roman transliteration of an Arabic word - what can go wrong? :-)

    On a related point, it drives me nuts when I hear military types pronounce the final "e" in cache.

    Gary it drives me nuts when Americans refuse to pronounce route correctly. Is it because root is considered a naughty word? How do you pronounce Route 66? I have the radio on in the background and fortunately the announcer used the correct pronounciation of route when discussing road closures due to flooding.

    To stay on topic I will ask how the publishers of the Air Mileage Handbook (1953) pronounced Route.

    I know of at least two ways to pronounce pronounciation    ............   I had better shut up as I am getting way of topic!

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
