Vagrant, your assistance if you please.

Post by Trey45 »

Howdy, it's been quite a while since I've actually posted here, I do more reading than anything. I do however have a question about the pronunciation of Beltrame. Is it pronounced like bell traim?

Thanks,
Trey

Don't feel bad. Ran into a guy from the UK with the name of Featherstonehaugh. Pronounced "Fanshaw". Also another Brit with a famous car collection is named Beaulieu. He pronounces it in the typical Brit distain for French names as "Bewly". And English is our Mother Tongue :lol:

BTW, the "me" in Beltrame can also be rendered as plain ol' Me as in Mini-Me. Believe the longer "a" sound as in May is closer to the Italian.
