Help[Opinions] Re: Sara
in reply to a message by Anneza
Sarah and Sara sound exactly the same in the US. Occasionally you might meet a Sara who pronounces it "Sah ruh" but that's really rare in my experience. They're both just "Sair uh." Though in the northeast that "a" sound isn't exactly like air, more open like apple. (At least the way I say apple! I need to learn the phonetic alphabet!) And in the south, some people might say "Say ruh" instead.

Yes, I'm from the North and I don't say "Sair uh." The way I say it, the first vowel in Sarah is the same as in "apple".

Thank you! I've heard the Say ruh version without having a clue where in the Lower 48 it came from: could have been Wisconsin for all I knew. It's always good to hear from an expert.
