Hi Reinhard</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="Ih2E3d"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
I know some people in Australia that pronounce the personal name
"Basil" as "Bazzle" but pronounce the name of the herb "basil" as
"BAY-zl".<br>
<br>
How far spread is this pronunciation distinction?<br>
</blockquote>I've never heard anyone except visiting North Americans pronounce it
BAY-zil in SE Ausstralia. In Tasmania and Victoria at least it is
usually pronounced bazzle - although that is based only on my personal
experience and that conclusion might be Fawlty.<br></div>
