Linguistic Question: Æ
« on: August 17, 2005, 04:06:23 AM »
Okay, the membership here looks to be a worldly bunch. So, I have a question.
How does one pronounce Æ?
My sister is planning to name her soon to be born son "Æson". From the Greek story of Jason and the Argonauts. Æson was Jason's father.
I'm questioning her pronuciation, the long A.

I guess it really depends on the language. Either what you speak or the language origin of the word/name.
