I thought that was a Yankee thing?? the nissan.
Our pasta didn’t taste very good that night.
Much like chewin on fast eddie’s head I guess?????
Haha 
And even harder to understand her pronunciation if she contracted Whooping Cough!!!!! 
Hahahahaha

Although I haven’t been able to convert from the aussie way of saying it. It pains me to say it but the americans/canadian are closer than ozzies on this one.
Nissan is a japanese word, and they pronounce it in their way to be Ni - Knee & San like sand.
We say it like: Nis like miss & sen like send. Which isn’t even close by Japanese standards.
Though I still can’t stop myself from saying it the Aussie way, and I used to word for Nissan lol

Actually, it’s a Japanese thing.
Nissan are from Japan, so strictly speaking, Michelle is correct.
The American dialect is the most accurate for english pronunciation.
It doesn’t seem logical that Americans speak better than the English and of course America has a variety of accents.
Webster developed American English (and it’s spelling/s) to unite the language through education, as many of the states couldn’t understand each other.
When taking into account the physical muscles of the human voice box the common American accent is the closest accent to not having an accent. A mix between “proper” English accent and American accent is getting close having no accent - what most of us will be familiar with being a “Shakespearian Actors Voice” many great speakers are good examples. An immediate example is James Earl-Jones (Darth Vaders voice - minus the breathing).
Once an actor can master having no accent they can apply various muscles, mouth shapes and tongue placement to achieve any accent.
Australians commonly don’t pronounce “T”, “R”, “B”, “H”, “G” and “D” and depending on the word, sometimes “E”, “L” and “A”. We generally speak in a high pitch avoiding the full capability of our voice box.
‘Ustralya’ is how we pronounce our countries name.
“Canbra” - our capital.
Yet we get annoyed when Umerrycens pronounce them the way they are written using the full, deep sound of the human voice box.
There are words the American accent don’t get right as there are alternate ways to form the noise; tomato and potato are good examples.
The correct way to pronounce “Castle” (without any accent) is using a silent “T” phonetically kas?l or as in Tills first post “cass-el”
I’m not saying the American pronunciation is always right but as a rule they are closer to correct english, without accent, than others.
Just remember that the majority of the english language comes from Latin as do most other languages that use the common symbols of the english alphabet and while the language spread there was little to no education system. America, through necessity, is the only country to create a way of commonly educating it’s people on how to pronounce words in regard to the way they are written. This is why “colour” was changed to “color”.
Accents around the world change the way many words sound. The English and Australian’s are some of the worst at using the language incorrectly because we rely on how we hear our peers speak instead of being educated by a governing body.
Personally I say “car-sel”.
There are a few words I still can’t decide how to say; “dance” is the worst. Most of the time it depends whom I’m talking to and the context. eg: If I’m defining ballet from ‘what’s done in a night club’ I say it “with a plumb in my mouth” - darn-ss. When in a ballet school I say “dan-ss” - because it’s the easier, lazy way (the Stralin way).
“Tongue” is one of my favourite gripes. To me it sounds like everyone says “tung” when it should be “tun-ge”.

Yeah, but we’ll never tell her that. Right? 
I say cass-el. And I agree with Michelle on the Nissan pronunciation. San is pronounced like you’re saying sun not sand.
Carsel for us QLDers moved to Mexico, and RockHAMpton, and Grarph (graph) not graft, and Parsta, npt pasta, and yo’ (as in yo doude) gurt not yoh-gurt. But what does it matter really?
And this morning on Sunrise Tyrrel Winery dude was saying Shirah for Shiraz, and SemiLLon for whatever that wine is.
Kate Burridge (Prof), expert of=n modernisation of the English Language (note, 2 kids studying this) was saying the antepenultimate syllable is the one to have the stress on. Go figure THAT one!
Ha I say carsel. But my dad pronounces plants as plunts and the fruit mandarins as mun-da-rins. Cracks me up every time!!

Hehe, beeseekay FTW! 
I think that we should use the Australian English Dictionary’s pronunciation for anything!!!!! If there’s no term, then the country of origins should be used!!!!!
For example, if we were to follow the correct way to even say Japan, we should say Nihon, and not our variation of the name of the country!!!!!
Much like the Japanese call Australia, Goshu!!!!! We don’t use that!!!!!
Canadians call the # Key, the Pound Key!!!!! We call it the Hash Key!!!!!
“When in Rome” is the rule that I stick by if I can!!!!! Ability dependent!!!!! 
@ 1:10 from a movie that is quintessentially Ocka, as a Red Bellied Black Snake goin hell for leather on a dead Dingo’s Donga!!!!!
