Hi!
The recent traffic about Somtow Sucharitkul prompted me to read some of his
stuff, and it is well worth reading. One query: how is his name pronounced?
I can think of several variations:
Lastname: su-CHAR-it-kul (the one I've been using)
such-A-rit-kul
SUCHA-rit-kul
su-cha-RIT-kul
SU-char-it-kul
Firstname: SOME-toe
some-TAU
SAHM-toe
SOAM-tau
and numerous variations or different ones than the above...
Can anyone who knows him, or who knows Thai, enlighten us?
Will

I have talked with Somtow on several occasions and heard his name pronounced
quite often and it seems to be consistently pronounced as
SOAM-tau su-cha-RIT-kul.
On the other hand, I believe he has stated that his last name may also be
pronounced JONES.

... Somtow pronounces his name differently from everybody (like Poul
Anderson, it includes sounds that don't occur in English); the
canonical pronunciation (that he writes on his name badges etc) is
suture-WRIT-cool.
Sorry if this is out of date; I'm just catching up.
