How to pronounce Talia

[GemLooper]

Would you say Tah-lee-uh or tar-lee-uh?

Tal-yah

Oh for goodness sake, the r police are out again. Obviously they mean the long ar/ah sound that is the same unless you have a rhotic accent, like a southern bath/grass/father.

There's no R in Bali 😵‍💫 if there was it would be the same as barley.

I'm southern. There's no R in Bath, grass, or father

You don't say Bali as "barley?"

TAAH-lee-ah. Stress on the first syllable.

Tar..lee ..yah

No Bali is Baa 🐑 li, barley has an R

I taught a Ta-lee-a. It was short for Natalia so pronounced like that.

Ta-Lee-A

I know an aristocratic Talia who pronounces her name Taar lee ah.

I'd say barley for Bali. It's just different accents. No big deal.

I'd also say Tal ee a

@OhLordyWhatNow

No Bali is Baa 🐑 li, barley has an R

How are you saying Baa-li any differently to bar-ley?

@OhLordyWhatNow

I'm southern. There's no R in Bath, grass, or father

There is an r in grass…. 🤔

As in I pronounce Baa and Bar the same? This is like fork and pork all over again

Tah-lee-ah

My mother's Pakistani friend has that as a surname and this is the pronunciation.

Grah-s not not gr-arse

It probably depends if you are from the North or the South. In the North it would be Tal ee a ( a as in Apple) but in the South, probably Tar lee ah. It's a bit like Bath or Baarth 😁

Grah-s as in rhymes with Mars? Or cars?

Not grass that rhymes with sparse?

Tal ee ah

Ta-lee-a.
I'm from the north and say grass and Bath, not Grarss and barth.

Round here Bath is pronounced similar to someone from Yorkshire. Short A.

Bali - Baa li, where Baa = bahhh. Long A

Barley has an R sound, same as Bar.

Baa-li sounds the same as bar-ley to me.
And the tar you put on the road is the same as ta for thank you.

I cant quite write it down. Its neither tar or tah at the beginning, imo. A sort of blend of the two.

You know some people pronounce things differently? For some Scottish people poor pour and paw all sound different. Bali and barley also sound different. Unless you use the actual phonetic alphabet you won't get an accurate representation of how someone pronounces something like this. It's a nice name btw.

Grass and Mars/ cars do not sound the same
