Pronunciation: ERR-ster-eye-sh-ring. (the "ch" is pronounced "sh" in Austria I believe) Translation: Austrian Ring (or more literally "Eastern Kingdom Ring": �sterreich is the German/Austrian name for Austria, meaning Eastern Kingdom.) HTH regards -- Ian Hill, Cambridge, UK Email: [email hidden] http://ianhill.tripod.com Please visit www.thehungersite.com today!

First off, there should be umlauts (the two little dots) over the O. Unfortunately, Noonan or whomever left these out. Osterreich means Austria in German, which is the language of Austria. The track is located in Austria, hence the name. It more or less means "Austria Circuit". It is pronounced - Ooster Rike Ring.

Incidentally, you can type "?" on an American keyboard by typing "153" on the keypad while holding down the alt key. And now, to find out if Outlook posts it properly...

The Canadian pronounciation is easy... Just put an "eh?" at the end of it. "Osterreichring eh?" Dean Richard ZZ Busch wrote in message <[email hidden]>...

This is what the CMU online dictionary came up with: OW1 S T ER0 AY0 K . 0 No stress 1 Primary stress Well, glad to have that out of the way :-) There is no such vowel as the O+umlaut in English (I think). Also the 'ch' is pronounced as in Scottish 'loch' instead of the 'k' advised here. For the other poster: Owsterayk means Austria in native language (German). Ring is simply a closed circuit, as in Nurburg-ring (sorry, no umlauts in Outlook). Bye, Leo (not an Austrian)

> Hi guys, a friend of mine is having a hard time trying to pronouce > Osterreichring. Can someone post a phonetic of how to say it. In English > please, British or American will do ;) Of course Canadian might be > interesting too <G> 1st of all, its '�sterreichring' with a german umlaut '�', i.e. a 'O' with two points above of it and often written as 'oe' ... same with 'N�rburgring', where there is a german umlaut '�', a 'u' with the same stupid ... guess you get the point ;-) the pronounciation of the �/Oe is something like the 'i' in 'sir', the 'ster' sounds like 'stair', 'reich' like ... uhm ... well ... with a 'ch' like in the old greek 'xi' ;-) ... and 'ring' almost the same in english. all 'r' are not rolled, but spoken with the tongue point down (like a snarling dog ;-). so, what next? "Rouen"? :-) Lio

the "ch" is no "k" - I don't know of a corresponding sound in english, but its like a "sh" when you put the tongue to the bottom of your mouth instead of up to the teeth. nope: the "n" is silent and its a nasal. so its like "roo-o (n)" ;-) btw: the french speek the "r" the same way we do: no rolling ... if you are interested, I'll create a wave file for ?sterreichring, Nrburgring and Rouen if someone sends me one for the ovals in return ;-) Lio
