since the fella below wanted to know how to pronounce Ambilobe..i was wonderign myself, how do i pronounce these other morphs the real/actual way...

Ambanja
Nosey Be
Tamatave

i know people pronounce it as they read it, and people pronounce it many ways, but what do u think is the real way to pronounce it?

Thanks to Olaf Pronk, I've heard a malagasy person pronounce Nosy Be. He pronounced it as "Nose E Bee".

As far as the others, its just the way I've heard them from other keepers:

Ambanja "Ahm Bonn Jah"

Tamatave "Tom ah Ta vee"

I think in Madagascar every sylable is pronounced and at the end of the word the enunciation goes up.

Other than Nosy Be, I have no idea if this is correct.
