How to pronounce Cochin

[cntrychick2]

I have heard it as cOchin and I have heard it sound like cAchin... so which is it... the O sound or the Ah sound??

 

[scbatz33]

I've always heard it pronounced with a long O

 

[krcote]

Around here it's the O sound.

I'm sure it's wrong, but I call it "co-shin" because I thought they were French but they're not but I still say it taht way because I'm cool like that.

I always call them Co-Shin. With an emphasis on the O.

On the west, and east coasts, along with the midwest here in MO, they've always been pronounced to me as CO-chin. The pronounciation Ca-chin I would've guessed came from "Baston"

Guess I was wrong again?

Its pronounced "Cau-Shaun". Don't you guys know anything.

We always say "CO-chin".

Its kind of like CleMAHtis or CleMAtis. Confusssssssing when different regions start comparing dialect.

Around here we pronounce it co-chin except for that one family that says couch-in
