Help[Facts] Re: of Romanian first names ending in -ie
in reply to a message by A question regarding pronunciation
I don´t know in Romanian, but in Spanish (language that derives from latin, like romanian), "ie" sounds like "EE-eh": Diego is "dee EH-goh"; Graciela is grah-cee Eh-lah". I can't find in Spanish a name ending in "ie". Hope it helps.

According this site http://www.orbilat.com/Languages/Rumanian/Grammar/Rumanian-Pronunciation_and_Spelling.html
the group ie is pronounced [je], just as in Spanish. So, Ilie is pronounced [i'lje] (ee-LYEH), for instance.

I suspect that it's the same in Romanian.
