[edit] Pronunciation
Can someone help me pronounce this term? My guess is "LO-EES-EYE-DAH". Can anyone comfirm that for me? Hanako 14:42, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Pretty much. I've also heard it pronounced more like "LO-EES-EYE-EE-DAH". I don't know which is more correct. Do we have a Nuyorican on Wikipedia who might give us something more definitive? - Jmabel | Talk 18:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, User:Jmabel asked for my opinion in regard to the correct way to pronunce Loisaida (I also confirmed it with my wife who is a pro), it would be Hanako's version. I just want to share with both of you, that User:RickK and I, through a merger, created the original article on Joaquin Phoenix and man, do I laugh at all the versions that have been posted in regard to the pronunciation of his first name, Joaquin.

- Thank you Jmabel and Tony the Marine, you guys rock! Hanako 20:30, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Note: If Loisaida had been written with an accent on the last "i" like this "LoisaĆda, then the proper pronunciation would have been "LO-EES-EYE-EE-DAh" as Jmabel had suggested. Tony the Marine 21:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
