Pronunciation

Do we have a source for the pronunciation pronounced /ˈstuːbɪn/? The vowel in the second syllable is arguable, but I've never heard it pronounced with the accent on the first syllable. Powers ^T 21:09, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking the same thing. Everyone I know says stu-BEN county. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.218.86.48 (talk) 23:37, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to put the accent on the ben. I grew up there/family lives there and that's what they say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.245.194.253 (talk) 21:12, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also I found a source for stu-BEN: http://www.stargazetterealestate.com/Community/NY/Steuben/index.html

...and pronounciation in German

In march, the lithuanian user sol505000 changed the german IPA-pronounciation from German: [fɔn ˈʃtɔʏbn̩] to German: [fɔn ˈʃtɔʏbm̩], stating "incorrect IPA - the nasal is alveolar only when the schwa is sounded, syllabic nasals assimilate to the preceding stops". That may be theoreticly correct, but isn't so in reality. As a native speaker of German, who has worked and travelled his life in all parts of german speaking countries, in high german I've seldom heard German: [fɔn ˈʃtɔʏbm̩] (lips closed after the last sound) and most often German: [fɔn ˈʃtɔʏbn̩] (lips slightly open after the last sound). So I disagree with the statement quoted above, and would say that the original german IPA-pronounciation was right - I admit that the difference is small, and that in some cases of mumbling pronunciation also German: [fɔn ˈʃtɔʏbm̩] can heard, but nevertheless there's no need to call a mumbling pronunciation the regular one (or many, many IPA-pronounciations have to be adapted...).
