Pronunciation of Neuropathy:
  • Webster's Dictionary says the phonetic spelling is /no̵o räp′ə t̸hÄ“/, or /nyo̵oräp′ə t̸hÄ“/.
  • Encarta (North American Edition), using different phonetic symbols, says /noo róppÉ™thee/
  • Merriam-Webster: /nu̇-ˈrä-pÉ™-thÄ“/, or /nyu̇-ˈrä-pÉ™-thÄ“/

Apart from the different phonetic alphabets used, the main difference is due to variations in regional and local accents. So it all depends on where you live.

Some people pronounce neu as noo, and some pronounce it as new, rhyming with words such as few, hew, mew.
