Help[Opinions] Re: Amina
in reply to a message by Tieliebirds
My good friend's Lao name is Amina. Her legal American name is Monica. She pronounces Amina like ah'-mee-NAH, so 'mee' is on a downbeat. 'Ah' is the second most emphasized part. 'Nah' has the strongest accent. It's really beautiful when she says it, but I really screw it up.
I prefer this to either of the pronounciation you have, as AMM-in-ah reminds me of "ominous" and ah-MEE-nah sounds like amino as in amino acids.
