Help[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce Joseph and where are you from? (m)
in reply to a message by Natla
Hi !!!
I'm not from UK/US but here in Italy we have the same issue about 's'.
Infact a person from Northern Italy would probably pronounce it with /z/ while in the Southern part it is pronounced with /s/.
Italian rules say that generally a 's' in the middle of a word is pronounced /z/ plus I'm from Northern Italy so.. no problem! Joseph with /z/.
Actually I've always heard Joseph /z/ used by Anglophones too but for example I know that Josiah is with /s/...
