[color=#000000ost_uid0]As I understand it, the word "apartheid" was pronounced, at least in South Africa, as if it were "apart-hate" or "apart-heydh" (to English-speaking ears.) The [iost_uid0]ei[/iost_uid0] sound falls somewhere between a long A and a long I sound.

Growing up, though, I always heard it pronounced like "apart-hide".[/colorost_uid0]
