What is the correct pronunciation of Porsche?

Answer 1

Porsch-uh. It is a family name, and is pronounced this way in Germany. Standard rules of English prevent "e" from being spoken at the end of a word, however, so Porsch, without the "-uh" is a correct English pronunciation. Many auto brand names are pronounced differently in English. It is really a matter of preference, but Porsch-uh is more authentic.

It is alright for Americans to have this kind of pronunciation guide as the -uh is brief but here in the Philippines, Filipinos tend to exaggerate it so what comes out is a long -uh, making it sound like a girl's name "PORTIA" (porshia).

As a German language tutor, it should be correctly pronounced as a short "eh" as in danke, or the she in sherbet and I hope these Filipino newscasters stop pronouncing it as "PORSHIAHH"!
