[Facts] Re: Pronunciation of the Polish name Prosimir.
in reply to a message by ADT
I will preface this by saying that Polish is my first language.
The stress should be on the next to last syllable.
proh-SHEE-mihr

Thank you for your input, Kirke!
Thank you, now I finally know how it is pronounced... and it is going to take me a little bit of time to get adapted to the correct pronunciation, because in my head, I had been pronouncing it as 'PRAW-see-meer' all this time. ;) Still, it nevertheless remains a beautiful name with an interesting and somewhat poetic meaning! It might be a viable option for me to honour my distant Polish heritage with someday (I have ancestors on my father's side of the family that hailed from Bydgoszcz). :)

I know, I already knew about it... as that is where I first encountered Prosimir in the first place. ;) Thank you for mentioning it anyway! :D
It's my first language too, you're right.
