pronunciation

I always pronounced Youghiogheny as if the second G was silent ("Yock-uh-HAY-knee")

Does anyone else think the pronunciation in the article is incorrect? 164.107.200.248 20:02, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • It appears that the pronounced G is most common, but that your pronunciation is also used frequently. I have updated the article to reflect that both pronunciations are acceptable. --M@rēino 15:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I added IPA. didn't remove the existing ones since they are cited. I feel like it's possible that emphasis is on the first syllable, but emphasis is so similar between the first and third it didn't seem like a point to argue. Pudowski 23:33, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
