What is the proper way to pronounce SUDOKU ?

Answer 1

Sue Doc Ooh

Answer 2

"The name 'Sudoku' is the Japanese abbreviation of a longer phrase, 'suji wa dokushinsha ni kagiru' (数字は独身に限る?), meaning 'the digits must occur only once'. It is a trademark of puzzle publisher Nikoli Co. Ltd. in Japan. In Japanese, the word is pronounced [sɯːdokɯ]; in English, it is usually spoken with an Anglicised pronunciation, [səˈdəʊkuː] (BrE) [səˈdoʊkuː] (AmE) or [ˈsuːdəʊku] (BrE) [ˈsuːdoʊku] (AmE) (See IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) or IPA chart for English for notation usage.) Other Japanese publishers refer to the puzzle as Number Place, the original U.S. title, or as "Nanpure" for short. Some non-Japanese publishers spell the title as 'Su Doku'."
