<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You wrote:<BR>Standard Dutch stresses the second syllable in this word, but we go for<BR>the first one here in the South (aka Spanish Netherlands 1579-1713 and<BR>Austrian Netherlands 1713-1794 :-D ).<BR><BR>As a matter of fact I'd like todiffer. Fifty, forty years ago stressing the first syllable in 'Mercedes' was the general rule in Belgian Dutch, clearly under the influence of French. The curious thing, however, is that where French stresses the last syllable, Flemish often shifts the stress in French words or names (e.g. Dumoulin, Dujardin) to the first syllable (a kind of Germanic reflex, I guess).</DIV>
<DIV>But nowadays the people I consort with in very large majority put the stress in 'Mercedes' on the second syllable.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards,</DIV>
