@@rollyg123 But as an American citizen you might know the correct English (BE) pronunciation and also pronounce it in the correct way. At least that is what I try to do here. „EdinBURG“ - to me a real no go. Sorry, only my personal opinion. 🇩🇪🙋🏼♀️

In south Texas, USA there's a border town called Edinburg it's predominantly Mexican-American hispanics so in spanish they commonly pronounce it "Edinburgo"
I'm from the USA. I learned many years ago that there was no "burg" in Edinburgh. I learned to pronounce it as ED-n-bur-a. In 1988 I met someone who was from Western Maine who had moved to Edinburgh (He was half-Scottish and took an interest in Scotland). He came home for a visit. When someone asked him, "When are you going back to Edinburg?" I then asked, "Isn't it pronounced Edinburra?" He responded, "It's EDinbulruh. You were close."
The city I grew up in was going to be named after Edinburgh but they felt it was too exotic. It got named Edina instead and no one outside of MN can pronounce it. It's pronounced "Ee-dinah" but when hear "a-DEE-na" on the phone I know the caller is from out of state!
Much the same here in the U.S. How to pronounce "Louisville..as in Kentucky, for example..can be rather comical. Lu.ville, Lu-vul, Lou'is-ville or plain Lou-e-ville, keeping the "e" somewhat silent. Among several others. Most just pronounce it.."Bourbon". That is if you are aware that is what they are known for other than horseracing. Love Scotland and want to return soon!
The pronounciation has aligned with -borough which is the common spelling in England. Both are pronounced -burra or -bruh when part of a name, but burra standalone. Why doesn't Pittsburgh drop the confusing last -h? :)
Lothian makes up the counties around Edinburgh, each have their own regional council, West, Mid and East. Im 99% Percent sure that the city of Edinburgh has its own city council and is not part of any of them. But it is part of Lothian geographically if that makes sense? It's literally surrounded by Lothian on all sides. But hey im a country bumkin from East Lothian so what do i know.
Scots are rightly proud of their capital city. So you can understand their annoyance at mispronunciation. If I went to to Paris and sais "Parisssssss" (exaggerating slightly) to a Parisian, the reaction would be similar, if not quite so aggressive at times.
@@skyfeelan That's the whole point. I would think, as an English speaker, that the "s" would be pronounced, and if I were to exaggerate as I illustrated, that would be even more annoying to a French person who would pronounce it "Pari"
Can also confirm I say Ed-in-buh-ruh. Although sometimes I’m lazy and say Edin-bruh. I tend to roll my r’s a bit though so it still kinda sounds like “buruh ” not “bruh”. Although it’s subtle.
Edenburg? Do you mean Edinbruh? (Edinburgh) 😂 sorry I'm not mocking you it's just such a weird pronunciation that I've never heard it before so it just stuck out to me.
It's insane really!The fact that the majority of English people are saying Edinborow or Edinbruh doesn't mean that's the pronunciation that's a cultural problem. It's just an dislexic form of reading or if that's the real name then they don't know how to write it correctly. It doesn't make any sense to write in one way but actually to pronounce totally different. And to say this is because of the influence of other languages it's wrong as well. Probably all the languages have influence from each other but usually the words adapt.
Wrong it’s pronounced “ ed-in-bur-oh” the “burgh” is pronounced EXACTLY like the english word “borough” which means town or district and its a word that originated from britin. But the problem is that mostly the new younger generation has grown up saying it wrong and they assume its correct since all the new generation says it incorrectly. But the old people of Scotland say it correctly. The name Edinburgh essentially means Edin Town or Edin District. The name should of been spelled Edinborough and there would be less confusion. But for whatever reason Scotland wanted to be different and not use the british ordinated word of “borough” and spell there own version. Maybe they was mad at the brits or something. Regardless, it’s pronounced “ED -IN -BUR -OH” Its wrong if you say “Edin Brah” and “Edin Buru” The only one and 100% correct way to say it is “Ed-in-bur-oh.” But like said, the problem is that all the new young generation all say it wrong, and so they all have learned to say it wrong and then tell people its correct. You have to talk to like the old people in nursing homes now days to get the correct way to say it. But in a few years all the old people will die and then the correct pronunciation will be lost and then when you pronounce it correctly, the new generation will all say your saying it wrong. When there wrong. ✌️
When you say Scotland were mad at the " Brits " that's wrong since the brits as you would put it are great Britain ie England Scotland and Wales then the United kingdom which is different is England Scotland Ireland and Wales so saying Scotland said something about the Brits they would be talking about themselves, no -one uses the term Brits unless you're American or have a lack of understanding how we describe each other.
I mean your capital is called edinbrah just retire. Petition to scottish people to backtrack from centuries of misspronouncing it and say "Ed-in-bourg" Xd

“Many non-native English speakers” - or millions of native English speakers who aren’t familiar with the goofy non-phonetic pronunciations of place names in Britain.
My thoughts exactly.
I've lived in Edinburgh for all my life (35 years) and I've never heard any local call it "em bra"
How are you supposed to say it
@@4lnppD "Edin burra" is how us locals in the capital pronounce it. I can see how others can mistakenly pronounce it though.
@@4lnppD I usually pronounce it the first way the narrator said it
You people are stupid. Just say Edinburg like a real American. No need for dum pretensions
As someone from Edinburgh, no-one says embra
Here in texas we have a small city called Edinburgh but we pronounce it edin burg or edimburgo since we are right next to mexico

@@undeadknight01 how is it disgusting what??
I hope u say the names of all cities as they are supposed to be said in their original name or you are being the disgusting one
🫣
So the city is called orange but it's pronunciated blue
It’s ed-in-buh-ruh, often shortened to ed-in-bruh because Scots tends to do that. Other places names like Fraserburgh and Musselburgh are the same.

No worries, if you mispronunciate Edinburgh you will sharp be told the correct pronunciation by the locals.

Hallo from🇩🇪,
I have just subscribed.
im from edinburgh and never heard anyone call it embra
@HAMZA what
@HAMZA I think I know how to pronounce the name of my fucking city
Same I've never heard anyone call it embra. It's just something people who don't live here say
Thanks finally I get it why some say that Embra thing … I thought that was somewhere in or outside Edimburg 😝
We pronounce it Ed-in-buh-ruh
Some of us pronounce it Ed-in-bra. Some pronounce it Ed-in-bru.
Then it should've been called Edinborough
@@xwarrior760 you mean named :D its called that.

I just recently found out the correct way of pronouncing it tbh after watching The Crown
Edin Bra 👌

how do we hear it in Braveheart?
Why is it spelled "Edinburgh" if no one calls it that?

As someone that lived in Edinburgh for 35 years... I've never once heard anyone call it Embra
Ok, so the only thing I still don't know is Edinburgh in Midlothian or Lothian? I've had so much conflicting info...
Lothian makes up the counties around Edinburgh, each have their own regional council, West, Mid and East. Im 99% Percent sure that the city of Edinburgh has its own city council and is not part of any of them. But it is part of Lothian geographically if that makes sense?

@@Hess512 Thanks. I've lived in the capital all my life and I've still haven't figured it out haha

@@chanderule605 the ones who have lived here our entire lives do
its actually pronounced "Cunts-Ville" hard to get that from the spelling a know

Am I the only one who thought it was pronounced edin-burro, like I kept spelling it Edinburough, like through
No one says embra.
What a language where you have to memorize the pronunciation. Hindi is so much better.
El llamado de la "hembra". :-D XD
This has nothing to do with whether or not you're a native English speaker.
I say Ed-im-bruh lol
i have not heard a single person from the UK pronounce it like 'ed-in-bu-ruh'
Peter I’m from Edinburgh, and that’s how I’ve always pronounced it, along with all my relatives.

us Scots pronounce it as ed-in-bu-ruh since y'know, its Scottish, we named it
That’s the stupidest take ever.
Congratulations to the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh so deserved🎉
i say Edinburger
Then change the name to Edinbruhg or something.
No
U won't tell us what to do
Then we (real) New York City residents should change the spelling to “New Yawk”? Fuhgeddaboutit!
So u want to change the name so it doesn’t get pronounced wrong. Is this a joke pls don’t say r/woooosh
You do not teach English, you learn it.
