I need to know when we went from pronouncing it "bay-ZHING" to "bay-JING".
A little help, please.
- It's annoying, for sure.Jaline
- Even the commentators slip back to the "old" pronunciation, so it had to be an official decision, right?blaw
- Must be. Even CBC does this.Jaline
- I have never in my life heard it pronounced 'bay-ZHING'. It used to be 'Peking', right?detritus
- Chinese people say it "bay-zhing", don't they? I know I've heard it before...Jaline
