How do you pronounce <Shah of>, as in "Abbas was a famous Shah of Iran"?
- "shah of" (I don't pronounce an [r]) (89%)
- "shah[r] of" (I pronounce an [r]) (4%)
- I would avoid using this phrasing, so that I wouldn't have to decide whether to pronounce an [r] or not (3%)
- "shah of " or "shah[r] of" (I can either pronounce an [r] or not--both sound acceptable to me) (1%)
