minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•edit-21 day agoThe Wikipedia entry has a pronunciation guide: English: [bɑːrsəˈloʊnə] Catalan: [bəɾsəˈlonə] The first a is a schwa and the o isn’t rounded. Honestly, it looks quite similar to English, to the point where there might be some English dialect that sounds exactly like that.
