As an Italian and Castillano speaker I tend to pronounce the last part with a flattened tongue... MAHN-TEE-LHA.
It's a fancy word for something put over a bread-table.

Re: How do you pronounce mantilla?
Since the word seems to be Spanish in origin, I use the Spanish pronunciation, which is as others noted, "man-TEE-uh."
I don't go around correcting other people who anglicize the pronunciation, however. "Appropriation" of language has always been culturally legitimate, eh? (and no, I'm not Canadian  )

Yeah, I don't correct people, If they say "man till uh" I know what they are talking about...

The city was initially largely settled by Scots Irish you know and the industrialist did live here for many years and was well respected.

Re: How do you pronounce mantilla?
Thanks for all the replies. Seems like whether or not there is a right way, people say it and it is accepted both ways. I didn't have the confidence to say it at all, which is silly.

Re: How do you pronounce mantilla?
Just call it a veil... thats whay I do! Besides, I don't always wear a mantilla, I like wearing a stylish scarf. They both serve the purpose.

Re: How do you pronounce mantilla?
I have pronounced it both with and without the L's. No one has corrected me nor have I corrected them for the way they say.
