Thread Name: Pronunciation of 'Schottische'?
Subject: RE: Pronunciation of 'Schottische'?
Well so many different ways, I'm amazed. In B.C. our family (Scots/English heritage) always pronounced it "shaw-teesh", with the emphasis on the last syllable. My father-in-law, aged 82, of Scots heritage as well and born in Saskatchewan, still plays a few on his fiddle and he uses the pronunciation "shaw-teesh" too.
