@Letty,
as i said earlier, i tend to pronounce orange with a slight aw sound, or even like or-unj as opposed to the dictionaries or-inj

I was speaking of English, Francis, and that's true. How would you pronounce it?

I was speaking of English too.
I'd pronounce it like your students: OR ange (the ange, like in change)
But it's certainly wrong...

@Francis,
dj, your AWrange sounds quite a bit like the deep south pronunciation.

Francis, it seems as though your pronunciation, as well as my students, is like the UK.

@Letty,
P.S. two syllables, not one. One syllable is hill billy. Razz

I woke up in a cold sweat last night... remembering that I had given the incorrect info...
It's not the Catalan's who gave us the orange but the BASQUES. my bad...
It is a Basque word. I had a slip of memory. This is why the word is so different than the rest of our language.
I was reading about the Basques. They are believe to be the original Europeans and their language is different than all others, a pre-historic language that still has many words for rocks and rock tools.
Anyway, sorry for the mix-up. It was the Catalan's who first adopted the word and thus it began it's travels and adaptation into other languages.
The end.
