Talk:Rowrah

Pronunciation
With the Cumbria shootings in the news, I've heard the name of this place pronounced on the television news. Is this indeed the local pronunciation? The input of anyone with local knowledge would be appreciated, and better still would be a reference to a published source such as the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary so that we could put an IPA transcription in the article.

As a 3rd generation Rowrah resident I can confirm that the pronunciation, as far as we locals are concerned, is Row-ra. Row like in an argument and ra as in rat. Probably not grammatically correct but the Cumbrian dialect is still quite strong in West Cumbria. For example moudy, is a common term for a mole and water is pronounced wat-ter, wat as in the end of a very rude word and ter as in the deter, the double t makes it quite distinctive! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cumbria marra (talk • contribs) 22:56, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
