From Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/baryta

Pronunciation

(US) enPR: bə-rī'-tə, IPA(key): /bə.ˈɹaɪ.tə/

These both are the same pronunciation in different systems and the middle, accented syllable rhymes with "eye." I see this pronunciation most.

However my Longman US dictionary gives the pronunciation as /bə.ˈrie.tə/ , in which the middle syllable is pronounced as in "beet" or "seat." This is the pronunciation I use most.

In the photo industry, it is pronounced ba righta'

That is not phonetic, just how it sounds.

Very interesting.
So far I pronounced it the second way. Simply as it is similar to the pronunciation in the other languages used by me.

it would be a lot easier to just say barium sulphate. But having now looked up the uK english pronunciation I now know what it should be.

AgX · Mar 5, 2016

I guess though that this will be only case were I shall resort to the US way...

In Portuguese, it would sound like "bah-ree-tah". That the way I pronounce it, but I am sure I wouldn't be understood in the rest of the world.

If that's how they pronounce it at Kodak, then I'll take that for definitive and use that pronunciation.

Not very long ago, how they "pronounce(d) it at Kodak" would have varied with which international Kodak you were dealing with, and which language was used there.

I wonder whether the Kodak Limited and Eastman Kodak pronunciations were the same?

AgX · Mar 6, 2016

Well, hardly anyone at Agfa themselves pronounces their own name right...

They were. Been both places and heart it both places. Never faced the issue in France.

I thought the French would pronounce it like "bah-he-tah", with emphasis on the last syllable.
