How to PRONOUNCE Ulloa

[SeagullSongs]

Ull-yo-ah would be the Spanish pronunciation, AFAIA.
But the Argentinian pronunciation is more like Uh-jo-ah, with the 'j' making the same sound as the 'g' in mirage.

 

[fork me]

1. He's Argentinian.

2. Len isn't even in his name.

Your point being?

 

[Mellotron]

I believe double LL in Spanish is pronounced J

So that would make it You-Jo-ah

Do you say Iker CasiJas? Fabio CapeJo?

 

[Monsieur Wabee]

Don't call me Len, you little prick. I'm a bishop!

 

[basque seagull]

U as in Ooooh
ll as in millionaire
o as in Oh
a as in cat
Oooh-ly-oh-a

But the Argentinians do say it more like U-sj-o-a..... smoother.....

 

[shaolinpunk]

Do you say Iker CasiJas? Fabio CapeJo?

Cass-e-yass.

Capello isn't Spanish so why would his name be pronounced that way?

 

[Mellotron]

Cass-e-yass.

Capello isn't Spanish so why would his name be pronounced that way?

Capayo. How I've heard it pronounced by Italians anyway.

 

[Cullip4]

LEO....LEO......LEO simples!

 

[kevo]

Or just call him 'The Cyclone'?!

I want to be there when Gus says 'Hola Oooh-ly-oh-a!'

 

[chucky1973]

Spanish Len

this, Spanish and Spanish Len. Sorted

 

[Mellotron]

LEO....LEO......LEO simples!

But even that is Ley-oh, not Lee-oh.

A mix of Hull and Alloa

Drop the "h" from Hull and the "A" from Alloa.

It's more like the 's' in 'pleasure'. Us-hh-oah.

Its appears it gone completely over your head, classic red arrows moment

Let's pronounce it however Warren Aspinall pronounces it.

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

No goah! Or - do you remember that bloke we nearly signed? Let's just believe it if, and when, it happens!

 

[ady1973]

Maybe we should call them spanish and give them an English similar name so :

Spanish Ian for Indigo
Spanish dave for david Lopez
and Spanish Len for the new fella (if it happens)

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

It sounds like from this video, the correct way to say it is ULYOAH.
