How do you pronounce "Ameraucanas"?

How do you pronounce "Ameraucanas"? We have one, but we can't pronounce it and don't want to look like idiots when we talk about it at black tie functions

First one must learn to spell it correctly then work on the pronunciation. Ameracauna

Spelling copied from the ABC(Ameraucana Breeders Club) - Ameraucana.

I say it "uh-mare-ah-khana". I probably have some midwest twang/yooper accent going on that way though

ok, so why does everyone in the breed thread spell it Ameraucana? And the breed club spells it Ameraucana too? It's a different spelling than yours.

That's how I've see it spelled too, Ameraucana. Where I ordered mine it was spelt like that.

It's spelled A M E R A U C A N A.
