--- Quote from: James Anderson III on 2011-02-15, 15:17:48 ---I've done the same thing, and as best as I can remember, the couple people I've heard say it have said it the same way too.

What drew my attention to it was their order being mentioned on the Chivalry Today podcast, where they dropped that syllable altogether, and said it like "Hospitler". I wonder how widespread the various pronunciations are, and whether our way of saying it is truly wrong.

Got me...I say and write it as Hospitaliers...but I'm unsure where I got that from.
Sir Edward:
I also added to the pronunciation page a quick note about Hauberk and Haubergeon: Hauberk is pronounced "HAW-berk", and haubergeon is pronounced as "HAW-ber-jun".
For a lot of the pronunciations, I've been checking them against dictionary.com. Usually it just confirms what you can infer from other sources, that they should have English pronunciations, and we shouldn't put a French spin on them.
Sir Wolf:

Sir William:

Thorsteinn:
You should try growing up in a household that, 3 generations later, still speaks some Yiddish.
Then go out into the world and hear the goyim try to speak it. Oy.
