Hahaaaaaa... sexy European lisp.

The ancient Spanish basically all had a lisp. Nobody thought about it at the time and it eventually became the status quo and then correct pronunciation. I base this on absolutely nothing and will die on this hill.

But that's how c is pronounced in castillian, no? What's pretentious about it?

I know its sounds like im an asshole but i lived 4 months there and picked itnup lol. So now i alsways say it like that even tho my spanish is pretty bad. But i like to pick up the correct, native pronounciacion of place names anyways to show a bit of respect to the people living there and i dont judge you if you dont do it.

That would be the (standard) Spanish, right? Catalan, the local language, has it with /s/

But it's very language-dependent. English has established names for many places, so you should probably use those. But some languages just don't, and if you borrow everything, you might as well borrow properly.

Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don’t.

No, I've never been to Barthalona or Barcelona. Nor am I ever going to either. I'm far to poor to travel beyond local necessities. I have no idea why I'm here at this party. Why you are here?

Una thervetha por favor!

I can't type out the pronunciation but have you guys heard American people read Japanese names? My god, it is so weird. Say that to Japanese people and I bet half of the time they don't recognise what it is. The way a foreign language is being butchered is beyond imagination.
