Growing up in Peru, we often visited friends in Chili and it was always pronounced Chi-li
with two long i's as Debby indicated...
Merry Christmas to you all.
I am also immensely impressed with the work on the Mt. Hope Cemetery. Thanks so much
for that hard work.

I pronounce Chili with 2 long i's. Chie - lie. I am
pretty sure this is right, as I once worked the
switchboard that served Chili. (1969-1978)

I'm SOOO glad you do! The site is fantastic!
Question for all.... the folks I'm researching right
now lived in Chili, I've been pronouncing it like
the
food. My mom told me the other night that she had a
neighbor as a kid who came from there and said it's
pronounced "Chay-lay". After having been to
"Gal-VES-ton" (not "GAL-veston") and "Ver-SALES"
(not
Versailles "Ver-say"). I know the country is
pronounced "Chee-lay" so I'm guessing "Chay-lay"
isn't
much of a stretch :)
