Pronunciation of Zoigl? |

| Not a native speaker but a regular visitor to Eschawo. When you pointed this out, I noticed this a little but I think it is just a little elision of the consonant. It always sounded like 'Zoig - l' in my conversations but the 'l' sound isn't particularly emphasised. Looking at the film again, without, I might add, the benefit of a full understanding of the commentary, it does strike me as a kind of odd compilation. For example, he talks about Falkenberg, even points to the Schloss, but is interviewed in the Rote Ochsen - a fantastic pub, with nice beer but it isn't clear where their beer comes from. In several visits, with my friends from Eschawo, we tried to ascertain where their beer came from. We were told that it was Zoigl but no one seemed able - or desired - to confirm whether it came from the local Kommunbrauhaus or whether it was bought from another brewery. And why didn't they visit Eschawo/Neuhaus, more or less the accepted capitol of the Echte Zoigl movement? Maybe they wanted a change, as there have been innumerable bits of film on the towns. |
