[Facts] Re: Rye-an-n'n? really?...
in reply to a message by Merriment
No, we generally (then again i live near essex and speak with a BBC accent) would pronounce Rhiannon Ree-ann-on. (no idea where the stress is, not good at that sort of thing.)

or actually, thinking about it, v. like the states' versions.
Yeah, for some reason, a lot of Americans have a tendancy to pronounce y like long i, and vowels in words ending with n get almost dropped. Of course, in the Southern states, _they_ strey-etch their vowels all out of shape! I have/had relatives in Texas, so...lol!

I'm from Lower Alabama.
So how would you pronounce it?
Sorry, folks, I meant we pronounce 'i' followed by a vowel like long 'i', not 'y'!
