Here in Japan, it's pronounced in four syllables with no accent, as follows:
Hah (as in "Hah, I see.") Sue (as in the name) Ke (as in the first syllable of "ketchup") Ru (as in the first syllable of "Lucas," since there is no difference between "l" and "r" sounds in Japanese) Put together, it sounds as follows: Hah-Sue-Ke-Ru Here's the URL of the Japanese Wikipedia page for Haskell Curry (for those who can read Japanese): http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%8F%E3%82%B9%E3%82%B1%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BB%E3%82%AB%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC Benjamin L.
