Skya
The music which was invented by Jamaicans. The proper pronunciation is SKYA. I was born in Jamaica and have an original Skya 45 it is written as SKYA and should be pronounced as such.
it is very frustrating to see the erroneous spelling and hear the word being spoken incorrectly. Please change the heading to show the proper pronunciation. Sk/yah developed by Jamaicans and must be pronounced as the Jamaican word it is. 70.50.36.254 (talk) 14:45, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- You will be interested in this article - https://skabook.com/2013/12/27/origins-word-ska/ - which says that the original spelling was sca. The fact is that, although many Jamaicans do indeed pronounce it as "skya", the spelling "ska" is almost universally used in reliable sources, so it's what we use here.
