Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they?

Post How do you pronounce Amen?

"Ay-men" or "Ah-men"?
I say Ay-men. Is it an American/British thing?

"o-mayn"

Then again, I pronounce it most often in Hebrew prayer, and that is the original phonetic pronunciation (אמן - meaning essentially "verily" or "this is true").

I see it printed in Hebrew prayers as omein but amen is just one of those words whose pronunciation has changed over time with dialects of English. Since I don't normally say Hebrew prayers, I don't say omein. When saying English prayers I say ah-men because it's just the best English pronunciation.
