If the sausage Bologna is pronounced "Balloney" in english, how is the city of Bologna pronounced? - Feddit

Side note: It’s also called Parizer in reference to Paris, the city that is neither Bologna, nor Lyon, another french city which would be the actual origin of the sausage.

Im sure if you go to Italy it’s not pronounced balloney,and that the evolution of the language has contorted the way it should be said. However, that’s not guaranteed, for example, the French city of Riems, is pronounced “ranse”, nothing like what it should, if the usual rules are followed.

I'm Italian, there is no Bologna sausage in Italy. The American stuff is a bad mock up of mortadella, which is a Bolognese kind of sausage.

Honestly Baloni seems like a more italian word than Balogna

I actually speak a bit of italian. It’s pronounced “bolonya” in american phonetics. I was actually supposed to go study in Bologna but unfortunately my uni canceled the deal.

The post is more about how americans pronounce the city of Bologna.
