Hi Reinhard<br>
<br>
I know some people in Australia that pronounce the personal name<br>
"Basil" as "Bazzle" but pronounce the name of the herb "basil" as<br>
"BAY-zl".<br>
<br>
How far spread is this pronunciation distinction?<br>
<br>
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>
