Default How to pronounce.....

Posted By: CarltonHendricks

I firmly believe they are pronounced:
La-zairy...(zairy like scary)
and
Knee-hoff...(like Neiman in Neiman Marcus)

I make my livelihood striving to ad-lib peoples names correctly, and those are no-brainers. One that kills me is the way some pronounce Napoleon Lajoie's name Lazh-a-way, but I've always thought it was La-Hoy....but I guess pronunciation all depends on what part of Tanzania you're from unless you have audio documentation of the subject pronouncing their own name.
