Question: Is it Andalusia or Andalucía?
What is the correct spelling - Andalusia or Andalucía? And how should it be pronounced?
Answer:
Both spellings are correct:
- Andalucía is Spanish. It is pronounced "And-a-loo-see-a" by most who live in the south (i.e. in Andalusia) and "And-a-loo-thee-a" by most who live in central and northern Spain.
- Andalusia is English. It is pronounced "And-a-loo-see-a".
When speaking in English, it should always be written 'Andalusia' and should never be lisped.
