NARINOC: Since you're here...

could you provide any insight on the correct pronunciation of Attila? One almost always hears it pronounced a-TIL-a, but I've heard some academic types on the more scholarly TV programs say
ATT-ila.

How is the name spoken in Hungarian?

Regards,

Da.

Well, first of all, the stress is always on the first syllabe of the word (thus also on names).

Secondly, a is always pronounced more or less like uh or ah, and i is always short, like in "milk".

So it is like UH-till-luh
