Talk:Kilmacolm

Pronunciation
A pointer would be helpful to outsiders here. Which syllable is stressed? Is is Kil-MACK-am? Kil-ma-COMB? Something weird à la Milngavie? Draggleduck (talk) 03:48, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * In general, Wikipedia tends to only use the International Phonetic Alphabet for pronunciation styles. It's also rather difficult to find references for this sort of thing. For general information though, it's pronounced something akin to 'Kill-ma-comb'. I'm no linguist, but I'd say the first and last syllable are both stressed to some degree. There is a bit of variation amongst locals as to how the second 'l' is dealt with. In many cases, it's completely silent. In others, it can creep in, sounding almost like 'Kill-ma-colum' - which probably is an overemphasis on the St Columba link.


 * Again, simply for information's sake, there are a number of videos on Youtube where the pronunciation is shown: this for example. --Breadandcheese (talk) 23:26, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
