      NITCH sounds like something I do while shaving. As in "OUCH look at this fucking huge NITCH in my face I made with this cheap ass razor blade!"

                        The dictionary was no help at all, having both the correct and incorrect pronunciations.

                                    The CORRECT pronunciation remains 'neesh'. Taking something and bastardizing it doesn't suddenly make it correct. But then WTF - it was done with much of the rest of the English language so why stop at yet another word?

                                    And yep - stolen off the French which only goes to prove how it should be pronounced.
                                    Ignorance is never bliss.

                                      So it's "neesh" if you want to talk like a French nancy-boy or "nitch" if you want to sound like a tough, rugged American. The choice is yours.

                                              According to several dictionary sources, NITCH is the most common pronunciation (because it is listed first).

                                              I pronounce it as NITCH, while foreigners or canucks pronounce it as NEESH.

                                              Strange.

                                                I guess there's an abundance of "self lothing closted fag who is also a retard"s around

                                                  Apparently, you do not know the English language too well.

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

                                                        the "ch" is generally pronounced like a "itch" sound.
                                                        So pronounce CHACHE and CLICHE.

                                                            There are no hard rules to the english language.

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

                                                                                  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'.
