Well, it definitely should be pronounced as KAUN as it is written. The origin of the family name is Chaldei. And in Chaldei language it really exists au together e.g. vowels are not combined into one, but pronounced separately. Like it is in most of the Slavic languages (Serbian for example) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roastedsalmon (talk • contribs) 22:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's not how he says his name, nor how it was announced over his four years at Allen Fieldhouse. Many Americans pronounce their last names in ways that differ from their original heritage and pronunciation. (ESkog)(Talk) 01:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On his CSKA jersey his name is spelled KAYH in cyrillic, which is pronounced KA-OO-N, but while at Kansas, he pronounced it Kahn, or KON. It's more of a language issue rather than being an issue of correct/incorrect. Swishymcjackass (talk) 12:53, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest: "he pronounce it as Kahn" instead of "pronounced Kahn", or just erase that part. In France, if they read KAUN as they do it may lead them to a bizarre translation.
Nothing I write here will ever change the achievements of this fine young sportsmen, we can agree on that.
Yet, for the sake of being accurate I have to say you are wrong. KAUN should be pronounced as it is written, because of its origin. What if, for example, someone use your arguments and further deduct wrong conclusions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roastedsalmon (talk • contribs) 10:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are you really saying that Wikipedia should be in the business of telling people they say their names wrong? If he says it's pronounced a certain way, then that's how it's pronounced. (ESkog)(Talk) 15:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
