How is “vegan” pronounced?
The word was invented by Donald Watson in the 1940’s. It is pronounced “vee-gun”. This is the most common pronunciation in the UK today. No one can say this pronunciation is “wrong”, so this is also the politically correct pronunciation. In the US, common pronunciations are “vee-jan” and “vay-gn” in addition to “vee-gn”, though the American Vegan Society says the correct pronunciation is as per the UK.
