How should I pronounce its first syllable? With the i pronounced as in "insist". Very strange pronounciation indeed I was very surprised when I discovered this! Click to expand I didn't learn this pronunciation until listening to an audiobook of a Douglas Adams novel.
I would write the pronunciation as "Iz-ling-ton". Speaking as an American, the pronunciation of English towns and places seems very myterious to me. I've only visited England once, much to my sorrow I'd go back in an instant - beautiful, beautiful country , but every day I encountered a name that seemed to have its own rules of pronunciation.
I finally surrendered and simply began to memorize the ones I needed. I no longer presumed I'd ever have a chance of pronouncing it correctly simply from reading it. Learning the pronunciation of place names like "Worcester, Leicester" leads you to believe you've got a pattern down, then you hit "Cirencester" and everything falls apart.
I think it's always good to check with a BE speaker if you really want to know how any place in England is pronounced. Celador Senior Member Glasgow. Celador said:. What is interesting to me is how you got a short i sound out of two E's. If I saw two e's together, I would pronounce them with a long E sound, as in the word three.
