Ok, so do folks say:

A-mare-i-kahna

OR

A-mare-i-cane-a

OR

A-mare-roo-kahna

OR

A-mare-a-kahna

My friends and I can\'t agree.  You say toe-mott-toe, I say toe-mate-toe.

I say Ah-mare-au-kahna, where the \"au\" has the same sound as in August or auburn.  I might even be right.
It\'s a merger of American & Araucana.

I agree with John.   The word is a contraction of the words American and Araucana - and has been since it was coined in 1978.
