Pronuncuation of Kawarau
Rhyming Kawarau with “now” is one Anglicised pronunciation, pronouncing it like “K’worra” is another. The only pronunciation that can really be called correct is the original one where the ending sounds rather like “tow”, not “now”. I'm not saying we should necessarily all use the original pronunciation (I don’t, I rhyme it with “now”) but if you are going to make a point about “K’worra” not being correct then at least compare it to the only way that can be called correct.

What could be said is that the common Anglicised pronunciation in the South Island, or the maybe southern South Island, is to say it like “K’worra” and the common Anglicised pronunciation of the town Kawerau by those in the North Island is to rhyme it with “now”. Different, equally popular in its own region and equally (in)correct. --Pedrocelli (talk) 00:46, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
