Actually, pronouncing foreign words correctly is the province of uppity learning-mongers who are secret Muslims and have ties to America-hating socialist terrorists.Originally posted by Verto

It used to be pronounced as l in Allah in nominativus (that is actually the only place in arabic where this sound officially exists).Originally posted by Mrs Snuggles

People in eastern edges of Poland and poles from Belarus etc still pronounce it this way.
Today, it is pronounced as english w, like in walrus, or work."I realise I hold the key to freedom,
