How is "Ignace" pronounced? Giving a speech on this man and while I'm sure none of my audience is qualified to critique my pronunciation, I'd like to at least be remotely close.

I would have thought "Ig-nah-chay".
But what would I know :)

I'd assume "Ig-nay-shay", by looking at how you pronounced Ignacio.
nope.

since the name looks extremely french i'd go with ihg-nah-s (s like in sea):gonk::psyduck:;)

genk's is close to HooD's, and that's how I would pronounce it.

There's a pronounciation thingy here but I can't figure it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph-Ignace_Guillotin

I made this with AT&T's text-to-speech using a Canadian French voice.

Edit: Link fixed. It's on drop.io, which actually lets you listen to it in your browser without downloading. :awesome:

Yes get that right too. The last name has no l sounds in it.

Ig-nah-shio

or perhaps

Ig-nah-see-oh

(atleast in spanish, where its spelt Ignacio)
Nothing to see here, move along.

Without cheating and looking it up I'd go for the Italian "Ig-nah-chay"

Obviously I may be totally wrong, but who cares?

I believe it's "ih-nyess" like the file I posted.

The "I" is silent. It's pronounced "Nyacky."
