Pronunciation of her name

Fadel does not pronounce her last name "falden", as anyone can hear who listens to her reporting on National Public Radio. Linguistatlunch (talk) 14:10, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

She does does not pronounce her name "falden." You are misinterpreting the Arabic pronunciation. There are no exact matches in English for sounds in Arabic, only the best interpretation English has to offer. The vowel sounds in her name are almost nonexistent. Possibly a better English spelling of her last name would be Fdl. The "L" at the end should be pronounced with a much more flattened tongue giving it a sound that could be interpreted by the English ear to have a sound we might associate with an "N" or to be somewhere between an "N" and an "L."

Tweet See new Tweets Tweet Leila Fadel @LeilaFadel · Aug 20, 2020 Thank you! Some hear an "n" and think I'm saying Falden rather than that "dh" sound. I remember doing my first sign off for @NPR

years ago and deciding "Ok, I'm going to pronounce my  family name correctly." People have been asking how to say it ever since 😂

This is a niche tweet but I live for when @LeilaFadel pronounces the ض in her name on @npratc

Fadel's birthdate

Has it been verified in a reliable source that 1981 is her year of birth? Her co-host A Martínez mentioned during one of today's Morning Edition billboards that today (May 23) is her birthday but said he did not know (and would not reveal even if he did) her age. rawmustard (talk) 12:35, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
