How do you pronounce Bokeh???

[James Barber]

I can't find it in any dictionaries, must be because it's a very niche word...

Does anyone know for certain how it should be pronounced, not just hunches and intuitions?

Thanks

I don't.

English pronunciation usually follows the Japanese, which is "boh-keh"
(Not a guess - I'm a translator)

Remember that Bokeh is Hekob spelled backwards!

In the South, it's "Boker".

In the Northeast it's "Bokee".

In the Pacific NW it's "Bowww-kuhhhh". You have to extend the "oh"-sound and "uh" because you're a green yuppie. Same for California.

If you live in the mid-West, it's "Broke-what?"

And if you live in Florida (mostly south Florida), it's "Bukwah".
