How do you pronounce naples?

The pronunciation of "Naples" depends on whether you're talking about the city in Italy or the city in Florida.

Naples, Italy:

* NAY-pəlz (The "a" in "nay" is short, like in "cat", and the "e" in "pəlz" is like the "a" in "about".)

Naples, Florida:

* NAY-pəlz (The pronunciation is the same as for the Italian city.)

Both cities have the same pronunciation, so you can use "NAY-pəlz" for both.
