see also: "clique"

The first four pronounce it like I think it is pronounced then the following five pronounce it as "click" (ignoring mis-subtitled cases of cliché and claque)

It doesn't seem to be consistent in either British or American pronunciations.



How would you pronounce it? "Cleek"? I'm American and would pronounce it like "click."


Yes, "cleek"

I was going to say I pronounce it as if it were a French word,

but realistically it's more like I pronounce it as if you were learning high school French as taught in England.
