Talk:Waterloo

Maybe my pronunciation is atypical, but I pronounce the name with primary stress on the first syllable. Do any of you pronounce it with ultimate stress as in the transcription? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  13:01, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Same here, stress on first syllable. (Makes more sense anyway in a compound like this, cf. Ermelo, Hengelo etc.) — Mnemosientje (t · c) 15:28, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Also on first syllable here. No idea how typical it is. I'm using mobile data, but maybe you could check news reports on https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/ for the "proper" pronunciation? --Azertus (talk) 22:23, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm hearing the stress on the first syllable in this video (at 0:08). Per utramque cavernam 22:33, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys, I'm going to change the stress pattern to what we all seem to be using. I now see that the transcription was added by a British IP, who I suppose used the British stress pattern. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  06:50, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
