Title: How do you pronounce "Atlasia"? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on April 30, 2012, 07:10:02 PM I've always thought of it as option 1, but from some posted campaign videos it appears some posters think of it as option 2. I don't think an official pronunciation has ever been established.

It must be a Minnesotan thing.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce "Atlasia"? Post by: Grumpier Than Thou on April 30, 2012, 07:45:48 PM is that a schwa Title: Re: How do you pronounce "Atlasia"? Post by: Queen Mum Inks.LWC on April 30, 2012, 07:51:28 PM Option 1. And I'm surprised Option 2 has the majority. It's based on "Atlas"... pronouncing it like "Asia" makes no sense...
Title: Re: How do you pronounce "Atlasia"? Post by: Linus Van Pelt on April 30, 2012, 07:52:35 PM [æt.'læ.si.ə], Option 1. It must be a Minnesotan thing. How do you get IPA on the forum? Title: Re: How do you pronounce "Atlasia"? Post by: Grumpier Than Thou on April 30, 2012, 07:53:30 PM Option 1. And I'm surprised Option 2 has the majority. It's based on "Atlas"... pronouncing it like "Asia" makes no sense... It must be a Northeast thing to pronounce it as the latter, cuz I know that's how Tweed pronounces it too. Title: Re: How do you pronounce "Atlasia"? Post by: ilikeverin on April 30, 2012, 08:02:54 PM is that a schwa of course it is a schwa we have lots of them in english [æt.'læ.si.ə], Option 1. It must be a Minnesotan thing. How do you get IPA on the forum? So long as you get the characters in the "submit" box, they show up here. I have a keyboard layout that has some of the more common ones for English and copypaste others. Title: Re: How do you pronounce "Atlasia"? Post by: Joe Biden 2020 on April 30, 2012, 08:38:44 PM I've always pronounced it Atl - Asia, though I can see the validity of the former pronounciation.

Title: Re: How do you pronounce "Atlasia"? Post by: H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY on April 30, 2012, 10:06:27 PM Well, it does come from 'Atlas', so I guess Option 1 would be the strictly correct pronunciation, but At-lay-zha just sounds better.

Title: Re: How do you pronounce "Atlasia"? Post by: MaxQue on May 01, 2012, 01:04:14 AM At-LAH-ziah, but that's heavy influence from French, I think.

Post by: Smid on May 01, 2012, 04:25:22 AM Neither... At-LAY-see-uh. Ditto, maybe with a shorter si. Having actually discussed Atlasia with you, now that I think about our respective pronunciations, I think you do have a shorter si than I do (not that it's the size that matters, it's how you use your your mandate).
