Is it pronouced Lab-rith or Lab-er-inth?!?!
Question: It all started w/ the movie Pan's Labyrinth and it's actually some that's brought up quite often where I work.
I say Lab-er-inth since there is clearly an N in there but like the english language is some things are just silent, which is the other argument and is the reason I'm always hounded. I'm constantly told that it is Lab-ryth. It sounds more like they're saying Lab-breath. I don't care about being wrong I just want to know the correct way to say it. Are there words that bother you?

You're pronouncing it correctly. Whoever is telling you differently isn't playing with a full deck.

The "n" is pronounced, but not "er", just lab-rinth.
It bothers me when people say crowns instead of crayons though. :)
You are right. The N is pronounced.
Lab-er-rinth
i think it's lay-brith.
i could be wrong.
Lab-er-inth, When people say Ecoo-nom-ics when its Echa-nom-ics
Look at how it is spelt!!! It looks like Labyrinth so obviously it is Lab-er-inth

It's Lab-ee-rinth, but most people pronounce it more like "lab-ir-inth". The N is definately not silent, not is the Y.
Lab-er-inth....the N isn't silent.
And the word I hate the most is WARSH (when people put an R in wash) Grrr....
You were correct with Lab-er-inth. And by the way I have seen the movie to! It really shouldn't be rated R, its not that bad.
Neither it is Pronounced
Lab-uh-rinth
I watched that movie and it was definately interesting but my ultimate favorite movie is
Labyrinth with David Bowie
