Help[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce and what do you think of (Layla, Lila, Leila etc.)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Hi !!!
Leila and Laila are the better Italian spelling.
I know a Leila personally.
But I prefer the spelling Layla.
It is more similar to the Arabic transcription.
It is because it has a long "i" which is better transcribed with y while the "i" is better for the transcription of a short i like in bit.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
