Difference between Mexican & Spanish
Hola
I'm hoping people can settle an argument for me about the pronunciation of taco. I maintain that the word is pronounced tah-koh both in Mexico and Spain, while my opponent insists that Spaniards, or at least some Spaniards, pronounce it tack-oh. Can any Spaniards here tell me how they pronounce taco & if there are any variations in different regions of Spain. Gracias

Hola,
I am not sure what phonetic alphabet to use to tell you how we say "taco" in Spain, but I believe your first "tah-koh" is the closest, as it is two syllables, with an open "a" (stressed) and a standard Spanish "o", unstressed...mmm... something like, tA-ko. Not sure if this is very helpful... but probably "Forvo" has the recordings of that word... I'll check it. Here is one link, http://www.forvo.com/word/taco/#en
