[Opinions] Aria
The given pronounciation on this site is AWR-ee-a or ER-ee-a.
I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in Australia we say AH-ree-ah. We have music awards called ARIAs (Australian Recording Industry Awards [i think thats what it stands for]) and everybody ive ever heard says it AH-ree-ah.
My question is - how do you say Aria?

AHR-ee-ah. But it makes me think of the word "area" nonetheless. Seems like a trying-too-hard name to me, too.
I've heard it pronounced both AH-ree-ah and AHR-ya. But usually the second pronounciation is paired with the "Arya" spellling.
AH-ree-ah
ER-ee-a always confuses me as well (well, ER in a pronunciation guide), I think it's meaning the AIR sound but in my accent ER and AIR are two different sounds.
Accents and pronunciations are a funny thing :)

I think a lot of people would say AWR-ee-a and AH-ree-ah the same way. But there is a subtle difference, I guess. Arr-ee-ah versus Ah-ree-ah. I think I tend towards Arr-ee-ah.
AH-ree-ah and AW-ree-ah are exactly the same in my (western USA) accent (the A sound like the A in "father", though I do know what the AW sound is like in other accents). I say it AH-ree-ah, not what would be AW-ree-ah in Australia (though it's the same here). Did that make any sense?
ER-ee-ah is strange to me.

I always thought it (and the word) were pronounced Air-ee-uh.
Awr-ee-a and Ah-ree-ah are the same pronounciation as far as I can tell. Awr-ee-a sounds most like what I would say, just like the musical term. Awr ends up sounding just like the word "Are".
AH-ree-ah, same as the word.
yep, AH-ree-a.
