...as an "I" like "eye", or as an "I" like "it"?
BTW, I've found a place named Linkhorn. How is that pronounced?
- "lin-horn" as in "khrushchev"?
- "link-orn" as in "herbs" (i.e. "erbs" - h being silent)
- some other combination, unknown to me?
In the end, I won't know khow to write my name - would it be Gnedeljkovich, Pnedeljkovich or Knedeljkovich? Each sounds right.
