How do you pronounce Tange?

[jim haseltine]

Re; Campagnolo. Unlike English (especially UK English) Italian has very few inconsistencies in pronunciation, it's mostly a say it as it's written language. Most of the time a G is pronounced exactly the same way as in English - like the G in Game or Go.
EXCEPT when it is followed by either I or N.
GI is a hard J (a letter that only appears in the language as an adopted letter to allow words of foreign origin to be used)
GN - the one that matters here for CampaGNolo has no English equivalent - it's something like the NI in onion, so pronounced like NY so a quick sort of 'neryer' - that should make Campagnolo pronounced like CampaNYolo. However, it's a family name so they (the family) can pronounce it whichever way they please.
