Re: I dislike it too said like THAT (nt)
in reply to a message by BBH
THAT is the only pronunciation I have ever heard. Perhaps it is a regional thing. I don't know. Your pronunciation does sound "somewhat" better, but I thought you wanted to know what responders first instinct was on pronunciation. vie-OH-lah is mine.

I think "VIE-uh-lah" is a Shakespearean thing.
I agree
Vie-Oh-lah is always the pronunciation I have heard. Vee-O-lah I think may be incorrect.

I am almost positive in any country where the long i sound is rarely used (Romance languages), Vie-oh-lah is not way it's pronounced.
exactly, in German and Italian it's vee-OH-la
