Hi Beverly & Dear listers,
Interesting post about the pronounciation of "Berner sennenhund". I have no
idea what a Georgian accent sounds like - is it like Scarlett O'Hara's?
You are absolutely right: saying "bear-" then "-ner" is as about as close
as you can get to the European pronounciation o
During a conversation with my hairdresser (my bangs covered my nose-time for
a trim) yesterday made me realize that my pronunciation (you all) may be
questionable on the bernese/burmese issue. She also thought that it was
Burmese Mt Dog - I say berner a lot and bur and ber are pronounced the
same
Q; Hey, do you raise them Burmese Mtn dogs?
Me; No. Burmese are Cats and Snakes, and I dont have either one.
Q; Hey, I've never seen a black Saint Bernard before
Me; You still haven't.
