Talk:Gifford, Illinois

How's it pronounced?

Does anybody who lives there, or in the neighbourhood, know whether Gifford is pronounced (locally) with a hard (velar) g-, i. e. as in get, or with a soft (palatal) one, i. e. as in gentle?

Thank you very much. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.57.92.147 (talk • contribs) 14:16, January 28, 2007 (UTC)

I would say it's Gi-fford, Gif as in the first part of Gift and ford like the last part of herd except starting with an F, Gi-ferd. --Dual Freq 18:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help: so it seems to be a hard "g-", as in "get" or in "go".

May I ask you whether you're from there? 87.1.91.25 16:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I am from nearby Urbana, IL, and I concur with that pronounciation. Pfolk (talk) 05:12, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
