How do you pronounce it?

[Jim Lane]

10. I'd say, instead, that English pronunciation doesn't always track the language being borrowed.

Just because they're spelled the same doesn't mean they're the same word. The capital of France is spelled P-A-R-I-S in French and English, but pronounced pa-REE and PAR-iss, respectively.

Sometimes the spelling is the same and sometimes it isn't. If you go to that city where Chamberlain met with Hitler, the signs will say München. That doesn't mean that "MYOO-nik" is a correct pronunciation (of "Munich&quot but "PAR-iss" is incorrect.
