Akershus Pronounciation?

[budafam]

How do you pronounce this? I feel like I'm saying it wrong... lol...

 

[KJay]

The pronunciation I've heard (onsite and on one of the Travel Channel specials) is: emphasis on the first syllable, and with the A pronounced as in "Amish"...

 

[catne]

like "ockershoose" (rhymes with locker moose)

Here's a wiki soundbite so you can hear the pronunciation:
