Two pronunciations

[edit]

There are two ways (at least in some dialects of American English) to pronounce the word viola.

  1. The flower is a /ˈvaɪoʊlə/, like the heroine of Twelfth Knight.
  2. The stringed instrument is a /viˈoʊlə/ (although some also pronounce the flower this way).

I suspect that the place names listed here also differ in pronunciation. — ℜob C. alias ÀLAROB 19:59, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
