Re: Nyah
in reply to a message by Bear
There's a beautiful piece of music called Nyah composed by Hans Zimmer for the film 'Mission Impossible 2'. I've seen several performances by figure skaters, Kurt Browning and Torvill & Dean, to this music and I've only heard it announced as "NIE-uh" (you can see videos at the "tube" site). I've not seen the film but, as Mirsada mentions a character by that name, it's likely the origin of the title. Regardless, while it may be too great a stretch for you, in my mind, when an artist creates such a beautiful piece of music and titles it "NIE-uh", it becomes a legitimate pronunciation and such associations are always worthy of name consideration. :)

Good enough for me. :-) Nyah, "NIE-uh," it is.
