A question for any Manx persons on here.

Settle an argument. There's a Manx ferry called the Ben My Chree.

Is that pronounced Ben My KREE or Ben My SHREE?

Opinion is divided in this house.

I seem to remember hearing it pronounced Ben My Kree on local radio last time I was over there. (Well, actually closer to Ben M'Kree)

Kree.
Not Manx but lived there a few years.

Thanks. Not the answer I was hoping for (I'm on the "Sh" side of the question)!

I'm Manx and it is pronounced Ben My Kree. Sorry!

It’s Kree.
