Is this the correct pronunciation? The SAMPA [lEz@z]) would equate to IPA ['lɛzəz] or something like"lezzers". The BBC pronouncing Dictionary of English Names doesn't have an entry for The Leasowes, but for Leasowe (possibly unconnected) it gives IPA ['lisoʊ], or something like "leessoe". rossb 16:44, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Edit was mine. Confusingly that is how it is pronounced by those currently living in the vicinity and speaking the Black Country dialect. I suppose that for years nobody else cared. I don't mind it being replaced by a more official pronunciation but I'm really not sure that there is one. It is a word with a slightly non-obvious pronunciation. Cutler 20:02, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
