[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

How's his surname pronounced? I watched the Porto game on a Spanish channel, they pronounced is 'Maskey-rhano', the English commentators generally pronounce it 'Mash-erano'

[SkippyjonJones]

some commentators aren;t sure so they won;t say his name.

 

 

Masch will do...

[mathewbet1]

just call him 'monster'.

 

 

 

 

When Ray 'Win Stone' came to to anfield he said. ' ive come to kill your monsta'

[Maldini]

An Argie friend of mine pronounces it "Macc-erano" and she's from the same city as him. His nickname in Argentina was "Macca" believe it or not.

[JohnnyH]

He'll be gone in a few weeks so just practise saying "sack Parry"

[Des]

His nickname in Argentina was "Macca" believe it or not.

 

That's just because he's gay though.

[John am Rhein]

I'm pretty sure it's an Italian name (as is Maradona, I think, and many names in Argentina) so it should be pronounced Mask-er-ano.

 

Whether, Mascherano himself uses the Italian pronounciation, I don't know, but I expect he does.

 

What it definitely isn't is a German name, so it's NOT Mash-er-ano. Perhaps Mass-Cher-ano if it's Spanish-ized.

Cecilia, a printer from Buenos Aires I know says it the same way - I'd been doing the Mash bit until then too.

I pronounce it Mas-ker-an-o.

 

I haven't a clue what the correct pronunciation is.

In Castellano (Main Spanish) 'Mas-ker-an-o' would be correct, however since the South American dialect is varied..... The S may be silent or thickly pronounced.

Either way is better than the Ma-sh-erano that I've heard too many times. Not that it's anyone's fault - just that it's never been made clear and the the comentators are useless at getting people's names right. i.e. David Pleat

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Oh. In that same game, the Spanish (speaking) commentators (probably) referred to The Tog more as El Nino Torres than they did Fernando
