Down here in SD, the bartenders that are going to be tending at Martin's new bar pronounce Clement with a soft T. I know that some have even gone to Martinique to sample rums first hand. I will be the first to admit that French is my WORST language, so I would butcher any French names even if I knew the correct way to say them. I wonder if it is a different dialect in Martinique though? I would assume for Martinique to be isolated far from France that they wouldn't speak French in the exact same way as in France. I mean we can all agree that Americans and Europeans to not speak English the same, I wonder if we are just debating what is correct in different regions of the world? There may be no correct answer if it is pronounced correctly in two different ways in two different places... Ace, that would be a great idea. It would be fun to see what others think, I wonder if they will be able to agree on a couple???
