Aussie here so not your target but I thought the difference was Lee-LAND (UK) and LEE-l’nd (USA)?
I’d say LEE-land (land rhymes with land in England). I am from the UK, but I’m going off a very vague memory of hearing it like that before. I wouldn’t be surprised at hearing Lay-land either tbh.
I’m in the UK, and I’ve always said it as Lee-land (the only one I’ve encountered in real life pronounced it as such). However, I did hear an Australian YTuber mention a [name_m]Leland[/name_m] said lay-land - so I think both are legitimate?
A TV show in Australia was made by two brothers.Their surname was pronounced Layland. Sorry I cannot remember the spelling. It might have been spelt [name_m]Leyland[/name_m], but definitely pronounced Layland.
In the US I’d say Lee-land
US here. Likely Lee-lund is actually what it comes out sounding like.
Thankyou everyone, i heard it in the [name_f]Disney[/name_f] film Cars 2 and im sure they said [name_m]Leyland[/name_m] but the subtitles came up [name_m]Leland[/name_m] so it threw me i think the consensus is if [name_m]Leyland[/name_m] is wanted then best to spell it [name_m]Leyland[/name_m] not [name_m]Leland[/name_m]
Thankyou
I would say LEE-land, which in my US accent would come out closer to LEE-lind.
I’m not actually totally sure what you mean by [name_m]Leyland[/name_m] vs. [name_m]Leland[/name_m] - I would pronounce these the exact same? Are you saying [name_m]Leyland[/name_m] as LAY-land?
LEE-lind. I’m in the US and I’ve only heard this pronunciation.
i’m in the uk also, and would say LEE-l(a)nd, though i could totally see LAY-l(a)nd too, and i did hesitate when i saw you ask. i’ve never met one, and im honestly not sure i’ve ever heard it said aloud before.
LEE-land
