- OkGoDoIt 7y agoI’m not familiar with that notation, can you provide some guidance on what those different pronunciations sound like in layman‘s terms?
- umanwizard 7y agoniːʃ is "neesh". nɪtʃ is "nitch". However, I'm American, and I anecdotally disagree that "nitch" is the only pronunciation. I exclusively use "neesh" and I regularly hear both pronunciations from other Americans.

- allochthon 7y agoHrm. American here. I always say "neesh," and I rarely hear "nitch" from other Americans. Wondering whether this is a regional thing.
