a1672: Re: a1658: Re: a1646: Voodoo chile, Vaudun, Voudou (fwd)





From: LeGrace Benson <legrace@twcny.rr.com>

Minor point: In the part of the upper South where I grew up the
pronunciation of "voodoo" was and is different from the way Kreyol speakers
I have heard in four different parts of Haiti pronounce the name of the
religion. The spelling to signify the difference cannot be conveyed here,
but it involves dipthongs I have not heard in Kreyol.
