Pronunciation of US Bala

[edit]

How is Bala pronounced in Pennsylvania? garik 21:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I live nearby; I pronounce the first syllable as if it rhymed with the word "pal", and the second "a" is a schwa or "uh", with stress on the first syllable. Does that help? Spikebrennan 21:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty close to Welsh then. garik 17:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cynwyd?

[edit]

the article mentions tht the original welsh pronunciation is 'kənwɪd but from my kwoledge of welsh it should be ki'nu'id! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.238.243.180 (talk) 00:39, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My Welsh is fairly basic, but I would pronounce it as "Kuh-noid" - the first syllable a schwa, the second may be more South Wales than North Wales. The second syllable may be pronounced more like "noo-id" in North Wales. But the first should definitely be "Kuh", not "Ki". I have been to the Welsh village (Cynwyd) but it was a long time ago and I couldn't say how the locals pronounce it! Haydn01 (talk) 12:13, 22 February 2010 (UTC)Locals in north wales say kuhnwid, the first syllable is a schwah with a short u as in umbrella.[reply]

There no longer appears to be any section detailing the pronunciation. I admit I would have no idea how to pronounce this town's name and would benefit from that info. Spiffulent (talk) 20:13, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
