Emperor Goblinus Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I remember reading somewhere that the pronounciation was closer to the Spanish accent than to the Italian one. These clips seem to back that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be happily alveolarically trilling down Fifth Avenue, and frightening the tourists. -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
