    Is it pronounced "Nitch" or "Neesh"?

    I've always pronounced it "Nitch" but heard someone refer to is as a "Neesh" tonight. Which is it?

              Americans tend to pronounce it Nitch where as it the UK, where we invented the language, it is pronounced Neesh.

                Neesh eee is the correct pronounciation.
























                Heh heh, just thought I'd throw the conversation a little off kilter.

                        Neesh for sure.
                        Nitch sounds like "Nietzsche" and that definately not how you should pronounce it...

                            The UK is the country that stole the word 'niche' from French. So where's your argument?

                                I would guess it comes from French

                                                      for some reason they call it "nitch"
