How is Dinan Pronounced?

Mr. 5 · 02-01-2008, 02:15 PM

I know; it's kind of a silly question, but I always pronounced Dinan like Deye-nan.

I've heard that some people pronounce it Di-nan (like the same i sound in dig).
I was curious what the correct pronunciation was.

I know someone who pronounced as Danone, as the yogurt. I tell them, Danone is a yogurt. It's like telling people, Vtech is a phone.
