[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by fiverings It's "KALM-bock", unless you want to use the German pronunciation. Unfortunately, English doesn't have a sound to duplicate the terminal "ch" in German. Okay, you guys carry on for a while without me. I'll be sitting in the waiting room. Or maybe waiting in the sitting room? [/quote] I've been pronouncing it as I would a similar word in Welsh... We have the word "bach" meaning "small" so it comes out as "calmbach". Then again, I have to deal with road signs directing people to "Canol y dref" (town centre) and telling them to "Yldwch" (Give Way/Yield in US signage). Add in a few place names like Machynlleth and Llangollen and you can spot the tourists - they're the ones with no clue where they are!
