How do Corsicans pronounce Ajaccio?

[DrSmith]

In French it's something like 'Aʒaxio' and in Italian it's 'Ayacho'. Just wondering how Alizée would pronounce it.

She has said in many video, check any one of those.

Okay, I found it here 2:42. It sounds like the regular French pronunciation.

I checked Wikipedia too, and it says this

French: Ajaccio, [aʒaksjo]; Corsican: Aiacciu [aˈjattʃu]; Italian: Ajaccio, [aˈjattʃo]

So it seems in the Corsican language it's closer to the Italian pronunciation. Interesting. I thought the French-speaking people of Corsica might pronounce it that way, but evidently not from that video.

This is an old song about Ajaccio by Tino Rossi ( the major celeb singer from Corsica)
