So the correct way to determine how to pronounce Kruspe would be to visit Erfurt and survey people. It is too far north to be pronounced "Grusbaä," though.

You should throw your German book away. Kruspe should be pronounced as "crew´s- peh" - There is no Umlaut involved. Ooops, in Saxony (former East Germany) they do something like that in dialect: Tinte - Tünte - Tunte, Fluegel - Fliegel, "gann isch mal rum krieschen" or "gaen´se fleisch ribagommn ?". ========================================================== Paul Mansur schrieb: > I think the word has an umlaut over the u.
