Does Bodhrán rhyme with Moron?
The modern Irish word bodhrán is properly pronounced bow-rawn, like Cow brawn, with a slight emphasis on the first syllable. It is also pronounced bow-RAWN; BOH-rahn (like know Ron) or boh-RAHN; or BORE-on (like more on); it all depends on who you ask and what language he’s speaking. Some of these alternate pronunciations are dialectical variants; some of them are incorrect, but persist anyway. Pronouncing the d is just plain wrong.
