Pronounciation?

TheBlackHorse · 10-11-2006, 01:59 PM

This may be a stupid question, but what do most people consider the correct pronounciation of "trakehner"? I've always pronounced it like "track-nur". How do most people pronounce it?

I pronounce it Treek-ner. Have no clue how its actually pronounced!!!

Vivian · 10-11-2006, 02:04 PM

I'm from Germany, where the breed originated. It's trah-kay-ner (at least that's the closest English pronunciation).
