So, How do you pronounce Baotian, Taishan, Zonghou etc? Lets have a few opinions I met someone who spoke mandarin chinese, and he said that Baotian was pronounced like "Bough Tea Anne" that is Bough as in branch of a tree, tea as in the hot beverage and Anne as the ladies name. He also told me that the Bao part is like a name, i.e. nound, whereas Tian means very nice, so the bike name means very nice Bao

There was a similar topic to this a little while back when the forum first launched. I think most people pronounce Baotian as Bay Ocean. I pronounce Taishan as Tay Shun but as it's Chinese it's most probably Tie Shun. Zonghou I imagine is Zong Hoo.

It would be really nice if someone who spoke Chinese, and in the dialect of the province where the factories are, recorded a few .wav files for us.
