Pronunciation[edit]

According to this Wiktionary page the (only) correct pronunciation is /naɪˈæɡɹə/ (second "a" silent), whereas it is /naɪˈæɡərə/ (the way it is actually spelled) according to the Wikipedia article. Most dictionaries seem to allow both variants. Collins, in American English, even allows nīagˈrə or nīagˈərə.

Now I'm confused... Are all these pronunciations actually used? Is one of them predominant? Or is it a US/Canadian/English thing? --Jullit31 (talk) 15:05, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
