</I>><i> In greek there is only one pronunciation and not 3 either 2, but only one.
</I>><i> If someone told you another pronunciation for the word mageia in greek, he
</I>><i> is not greek or it is not his native language. It is not even a case that we
</I>><i> can say for example that in the north of greece they say it in one way and
</I>><i> in the south of greece in another way. It is a word that its letters cant be
</I>><i> saying in another way but only in 1 way. If you change one thing of its
</I>><i> pronunciation is like if you say the word computer in english : compoter or
</I>><i> cimputer or campetor... etc, no sense at all
</I>
Of course what you say makes sense. But still I had that experience
1. from a greek Mageia friend at Fosdem 2011 :)
2. from a greek cook in Berlin
3. from a greek neighbor who imigrated in Germany only 4 months ago.
All 3 are of greek origin, all 3 speak greek as mother tongue. And all
3 told me different pronounciation.
But anyhow, I agree to the importance of usage rather than pronouncing it :)
