How do you pronounce the word Angles - as in the Germanic tribe that England is named after?

Answer 1

The Oxford English Dictionary gives current pronunciation in an analog of "aehn-gul" in which both vowels are short rather than long, and the emphasis is on the first syllable. The "a" and"e" are run together.

The word derives from the Latin parent of our modern word for "angle," meaning the shape - it was used to describe a section of Holstein in that form from which the tribal people originated. These are the folk who later settled in part of England and the name derives from them (even if there WERE lots of other, different folk there sooner and in greater numbers).
