minus-square@nodoze313linkEnglish1•2 years agoI very distinctly recall the geography teacher asking the class clown to pronounce it when we were studying it, it went as expected, and she corrected him. She told us it was pronounced n-eye-jer, but it’s also been 30 years.
Isn’t it pronounced nee-jear?
Wikipedia has it as “nee-ZHAIR”, so yeah about that.
