The USA state of Maryland - how is it pronounced

[Maggoty]

Thank you

Click here, type 'Maryland' into the slot and click 'Search'. When the new page appears, click on the red loudspeaker symbol to hear an American pronounce it...correctly, presumably!

[Maggoty]

Sorry - don't have speakers on my computer.......

[Grunty]

I tried it and it sounds like Mare-er-land, with the emphasis on the first syllable.

[stewey]

maggoty, this will give you a very close correct pronunciation: pronounce the "maryl" to rhyme with "barrel".

[Maggoty]

Thank you Stewey - thats the one I was looking for. Cheers

And grunty is correct: emphasis on first syllable.

[Kingaroo]

Also don't make the last syllable sound like the word "land." It's more of a "l'nd" or "lind."

If you live in Baltimore, Maryland, you pronounce it
Bawllim'r Murrilin.
