Thread Name: words that rhyme with banana.
Subject: RE: words that rhyme with banana.
It doesn't rhyme with maƱana in Britain or anywhere,though it might be close enough for some purposes. I've never heard anyone pronounce it "banyana".

The other thing is that this side of the water the second "a" is long, rather than short. That's why Hannah woudln't be a rhyme (though the way we tend to say "Montana", that would be.)
