How do you SAY Birmingham in French?

Answer 1

AnswerBirmingham cannot be translated into French; only countries and some capitals can. If you are saying where you live in French you would just say J' habite à Birmingham.

But a French person would pronounce it like "Beer-Ming-Ham".

Birmingham is not easy to translate into English either.

The natives pronounce it as Bure-Ming girm. The -ure at the beginning is very like the -ure in the French 'pure'. The 1st g is said as in ring, the 2nd g is hard as in girl. There is no elision between the 2nd and 3rd syllables.

A French speaker would find it easier to understand the native pronounciation than most English speakers !
