I've always thought, probably mistakenly, that Tabbouleh was pronounced
"Tab-bow-lay". However, I've recently heard someone pronounce it
"Tab-boo-lee".

Which is correct? Can anyone here clarify please?

Many thanks in advance.

Thank heaven, I said I didn't care and I won't change my pronunciation
but you keep bringing up interesting points :-) I didn't know that
Siciilans spoke Turkish.

Some of them do/did. Most Sicilians originated from Turkey and
surrounding areas. Many left to escape the great war of 1675. Once
again, Google is your fiend!

Sicilians speak italian (or at least try to) but have had a long arab
presence and this has left signs on many names. Many people has obviously
arab surnames, as Alì (note the stress on the letter "i"), and many places
are named after arab names, as Palermo Airport at "Punta Raisi", where Raisi
comes straigth from the arabian word "Rais", which everybody heard from the
TV talking about Saddam Hussein and which means "chief" or "leader". Many
dishes in Sicily are arab dishes and tabboule' is just one of them.

That's the fake Peter, again. Please check
the headers before taking the bait. If you
can't check the headers because you're using
webTV or something as a browser, you should
always assume it's a fake post from Bevan
Kirkland.

I've always pronounced it tah-boo-lee.

Seems as you know this Bevan Kirkland
Mark Thorson = Bevan Kirkland.
Are you pretending to be Bevan Kirkland?

There seem to be a lot of variations regarding the spelling and
pronunciation:

/t@'bu:l@/ and /t@'bu:li/ are both acceptable pronunciations in
English according to DJ16, but Oxford likes /t@'bu,leI/.

Your transcription doesn't help
(1) the /b/ is in the second syllable, not the first, and certainly not
doubled
(2) <bow> has at least the pronunciations /baU/, /b@U/, and /boU/, none
of which are right. So what you "always thought" is clearly wrong.
(3) <boo> has the correct vowel /bu:/
(4) Your third syllable |lay| seems to correspond to Oxford's preferred
/eI/. The version you heard |lee| seems to corresond to DJ16's second
one /li/, although |lee| suggests greater length. Either seems acceptable.

Might depend on where you are.

I've only ever seen it spelled "Taboulé" and pronounced Tah-Boo-Lé (or
however you want to write that last bit). In France.

Heehee! I love it! Much easier to remember, too.

So, is a souffle, "fluffy eggs?"

Kinda like spelling appetizer rather than hors d'oeuvre <g>. I can NEVER
spell hors d'oeuvre... had to look it up!

Chris

Note to Carol: I have pretty much trained Dick to know what a bell pepper
is and what a mango is!

Yeah, I don't see what's wrong with using English words in a primarily
English-speaking country. I just call 'em horse's ovaries if I don't
say appetizers.
