How to pronounce BELIZE?
Hola a todos! A friend and I are debating the correct pronunciation of the country of Belize/Belice. I feel confident that, in proper Spanish, it should always be pronounced "bay LEE say," while my pal contends that it's like the English "bay LEESE."
I'm hoping that a few folks will kindly post in this thread with their thoughts. I'd be especially appreciative to hear from those who've spent time in Belize! Mil gracias! scott in maine |

It's 'beh LEESE'. The country's official language is English, and the name is pronounced in English. I haven't been to Belize, but was in a neighboring country.

In Spanish it's Belice; in English it's Belize. I'm pretty sure English is the official/main language spoken in Belize, along with Spanish and other languages.

Well perhaps I'd like to know as is spoken the Belizeño English, Is spoken it like the normal English? But David you should believe me, the word Belize is pronounced of the same way than Spanish, I can recommending you if you use the letter C instead of Z. So it goings sound better.
