Is Newbury pronounced:
- (2 syllables) New•brie; or,
- (3 syllables) New•b’uh•ree
I really need to know, and Wikipedia says nothing!
I think it depends on your accent, and through that how old you are.
After saying it a few times outloud, for me NewBrie is close, but it’s kinda a mix of the two.
This is, I’m sure, very helpful. My accent seems to wander a lot depending on who I’m talking too!
Southampton when I’m not there. Saaffamtn when I am.Seconding “New-brie”
Yep 3rd for New-Brie here, iv actually been too. It’s a nice town.
I thought New-brie… but then on the train in, the automated announcements enunciated hard and squeezed out the extra syllable.
tbf I reckon either is completely fine unless you’re overenunciating “New-Berry” :-)
With my “from London but moved to Devon but moved to Reading” accent it’s NewBrie.
