I pronounce it "kay-toe." One of us has to be close to correct. :-) The question is...who???

There is more than one way to pronounce cichlid? sick lid

I've heard cichlid pronounced as chicklid.
For a Latin pronunciation key, check out page four of this document. From that key it looks like chaeto should be pronounced keetoh. |

When I did latin at school, I was taught 'ae' is pronounced like 'eye'. Hence the modern German title of 'Kaiser' is the actual pronunciation of its origin, 'Caesar'.
So.... ch-eye-toe. |

ch-eye-toe just sounds better doesn't it? I guess it really doesn't matter how you pronounce it just as long as the person your speaking to understands what your talking about. cycloplezze is another one I have issues with pronouncing.

Then again, in modern English, as in encyclopaedia, paediatric or caesar (seezar), the ae is often just commonly pronounced as if it was just a standard double ee instead.

I also pronounce it Ch-eye-toe (however I have no idea if it's correct). Why can't the come up with simpler names...
I propose... Afro-algae Aptasia is another one I struggled with until I realized it was the same as the flower. |

"http://www.wetwebmedia.com/marine/inverts/cnidaria/anthozoa/aiptasia/aiptasia.htm"
"In case you don’t know the animal anemones from the look-alike flowers they’re named after, some science regarding anemones period and then on to ways to rid your system of Aiptasia." When I read it I thought "oh yeah, my mom has some of those planted... so that's how it's pronounced." and everything was right in the world... until now. But you know what? I'll be darned if I can find a single other reference on google or a picture of this "flower" it was suposedly named after. guess it goes to show believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see. |

it's "kee-toe".
the "ch" is pronounced with a "k", and when the "ae" is used together, the "a" is silent, only hearing the "e" sound.

I have always pronounced Chaeto as "key-toe", as in Butterflyfish (Chaetodontidae – key-toe-DON-ti-day)
