How TO PRONoUSCE fuREtGg NAMES
The NbtrUetons so frequently published IN
Oewspapcr paragraphs on the pronunciation
OF the names OF foreign persons and places
ne worse than useless; as they only serve to
puzzle the reader, aud make him unwilling
So converse or read aloud on subjects con.
tanning such names, ia fear Of tho ridiculn of
those who know no better than himself The
proper aud 'snlrsl rule is, To pronounce M if
the names were English. Ofcourso, ifspenk-
Iug in foreign language, wo should pro.
ounce nnrpes as in that lnngungc; bat to do
80 while speaking English has an mir Of ped.
Atrtry and ntlectaiion. The above rule has
been followed with regard TO the most prev
nlenl languages of Europe; lLon Why not
~'lIh nllI Nay. so far has this rule Of nssim.
Station been carried in English, that the names
of foreign places are sometimes so curtailed
sn thcir letters, or contain so many not IN the
original, us 60 he utterly unknown to the mn
lives. Who, while speaking in English ever
pronouuccs Louis Philippe thus, Looee Phee-
leap, as IL should be or Leon Fnuchcr thus,
Ldyong Foeshayor Odi'on Bnrro, thus Odee-
long BaiToir; or, who in speaking oC Paris,
cids IL Pare; or Lyons Leeong; or Milan
-Meeldno; or Flornuco 90 Fioronse; or Leghorn,
LiVerno. Yet, nearly thus would the nntivcs
respectively pronounce. II may be doubted
Sfthete be Two booksellers in the Union who
ifnsked for Don hey .sholo-tdy,l Don Quixoie)
would not answer that they never heard of
such work though they might at the snme
time have actually dozen copies on their
counter J"C.
We concur generally in the rule of our
correspondent, but many Hungarian and Po-
iish names defy all efforts 10 nngliciso them,
aud must be reckoned an exception.
