the "ch" is generally pronounced like a "itch" sound.

So pronounce CHACHE and CLICHE.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to side with Mirriam Webster over you on this one, has nothing to do with the millions of idiots who voted for Bush.

Yes, but notice there is a "T" in "itch". Not in niche.

That's why we pronounce stitch as stitch. But mustache is pronounced mustash rather than mustitch.

Well I guess if you have and ICHE to call it NITCH then HICHE your BICHE ass on the horse you rode in on and go on. And please do not PICHE a fit over this and DICHE any civility you have by acting like a WICHE. Hopefully this won't tear the board part otherwise we'll have to STICHE it back together somehow.

It's originally a french word. It's pronounced Neesh. Period.

**Drake** · 12-21-2004, 03:46 AM

When a 'che' is at the END of a word it's usually pronounced "sh". For instance mustache.

When a 'che' is at the BEGINNING of a word it's usually prounounced "ch' as in chestnut.

When a 'tch' is at the END of a word it's usually pronounced 'ch' as in pitch.

It's niche, not nitch, so it would be pronounced NEESH, if spoken 'correctly'.

Is it pronounced "Nitch" or "Neesh"?
