When spoken, especially quickly, you do hear a "wah" sound, but it's not technically there. There is no OA diphthong in Spanish, so you really are pronouncing both vowels even tho it might not sound like it. Yeah, when I was hearing people give it a French twist, I couldn't figure it out either. Seems most of them had just heard other people pronounce it wrong and went with that. Plus French sounds more - très élégant, n'est-ce pas? And, clearly, they never had someone who speaks Spanish correct them. It has become my life's mission ;o) You can find my comments on a number of YouTube videos about the pronunciation too. Best from Indiana!

However, it does little more than admit that the etymology is obscure. An earlier form (1549) was "Mommulls" (presumably sans the "head"). I suspect the double L there might be problematic for a derivation from "mamma" but can't say for certain without more information. Oxford does connect "Mumbles Head" with Old Scandinavian "muli" but it does not suggest a meaning there, either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02587464763230051621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355319149523197079.post-41890049281834615852014-03-10T08:29:13.012-07:002014-03-10T08:29:13.012-07:00I just realized I used "tauic" where I s...I just realized I used "tauic" where I should have used "rhotic".

Those photos show all kinds of things, but I sort of gathered that The Mumbles might be those rounded mountains or hills that seem to be featured in a few of the pictures. They look vaguely like mammae, I guess, but I`ve seen closer approximations! Those look more like pimples to me! :) <br />Now, as to the origins of the word Mumbles, I don`t know.

I`ve noticed that when people are talking about themselves, maybe in an interview, they almost always change the "I" to "you" after a few sentences.
