Taking account of the English spelling, try "shay hay raa zaad" ------------- Pierre R, the man who lost his signature |

I think Annie Haslam pronounces it correctly. It's just that she sings sheh-hehr-a-zaaaaaaaaaaaaahd
By the way, I love Rimsky Korsakov's interpretation as well. Good one, Opera Guy. |

ask an Arab; he will give you the correct pronunciation with a lot of guttural consonants. try the same for yourself, and you will wind up with a severe laryngitis

True. The Arab speaking people pronounce "Sahara" also completely different than we do. (Well, "we"? Maybe there are some Arab speaking prog fans on PA as well). |

That's the way Annie sings it, so I'll go with that pronunciation. ------------- David - Never doubt in the dark that which you believe to be true in the light. http://www.myspace.com/aardvarktxusa - Instrumental rock http://www.soundclick.com/aardvarktxusa |
