Actually my pronounciation depends on which language I use for saying it. In Finnish my pronounciation is the same is with the other Finns and in Swedish it's like you, Nikolai, except with a softer pitch. In English you already heard me saying it.

There doesn't seem to be any font that has special pronunciation characters like the schwa, since I don't see any of the online dictionaries using them.
I say uh-pol’-ih-tun.
I'm guess that's what Obiwan is saying. See? Canadians aren't not all bad.

Indeed. Last year I was on a trip to Malaysia. There, our guide had just broken her tongue in an attempt to pronounce some of our names (we were all Dutch and most of us had typically Dutch names) and she was talking about her mother tongue, Bahasia Indonesia (sp?): "It's a very simple language: contrary to most languages, we pronounce words exactly as we write them."Originally posted by DrSpike
I think there are only 2 or 3 ways that people say it..............it's just everyone has there own phonetic way of typing it.
After which the whole bus replied: "So do we!"

Re: Apolyton pronounciation
A-poll-eh-ton is the proper pronunciation of Apolyton. Ah-poll-eye-ton is Canadian slang...Originally posted by War of Art
I don't know if I spelt that right.
Anyway, what is the correct pronuciation of "Apolyton"?
I always thought it was Ah-Poll-Eee-Ton, or perhaps Ay-Poll-Eee-Ton.
DanQ says it Ap-Poh-Lay-Ton.
So who's right, or does anyone have a better suggestion.
This is really bugging me now.
