[edit] pronunciation

I always pronounced Youghiogheny as if the second G was silent ("Yock-uh-HAY-knee")

Does anyone else think the pronunciation in the article is incorrect? 164.107.200.248 20:02, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

It appears that the pronounced G is most common, but that your pronunciation is also used frequently. I have updated the article to reflect that both pronunciations are acceptable. --M @r ē ino 15:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I added IPA. didn't remove the existing ones since they are cited. I feel like it's possible that emphasis is on the first syllable, but emphasis is so similar between the first and third it didn't seem like a point to argue. Pudowski 23:33, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] history =

I was wondering about your source of information regarding the fort inundated at Somerset, PA, by the Youghiogheny Dam. I am fairly familiar with the area and wondered if you meant Somerfield, PA. (a town where US Rt 40 crosses the lake - buildings removed by the US Army Corps of Engineers and inundated in 1948 when the area was flooded) I was also wondering about the fort. I have never heard of it before.Forester856 18:58, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I have received no reply in the past month but would add that Somerset is 25 miles north of the dam while the lake is on the south side of the dam. If you want to be accurate, please delete the reference to Somerset. The town of Somerfield, at the site of the National Road crossing the Youghiogheny River, was inundated by the flooding behind the dam.69.89.169.55 21:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Forester856
