Pronunciation
[edit]I question the pronunciation currently on the page, which is /ˈraʊn/. This seems to indicate a one-syllable pronunciation, which I have never heard. I made a sound file of how I pronounce it, which another user transcribed to IPA as /ˈraʊ.ɪn/. A previous revision added the pronunciation /roʊˈæn/ (later removed for unexplained reasons), which supports a two-syllable pronunciation, but differs on the vowel sounds. I'm nearly positive the first vowel sound in that one is wrong, but I could be mistaken on the second one. Anyone else want to weigh in and see if we can get some consensus on what is correct?

- I'm not too familiar with IPA but I think /ˈraʊ.ɪn/ would be correct. Your pronunciation is absolutely correct, I live in Rowan and this is the only way that the county name is pronounced. Elspamo4 (talk) 18:44, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll leave this up for a bit to see if we get any more feedback, but if not, I'll change it based on this discussion. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 19:43, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
