I don't really hear much of a difference between the two.

well, to me soy-yer has more of a pronounced Y sound, as opposed to soy-ER

Zimger

I don't really see the difference either. I've heard it pronounced both Saw-yer and Soy-yer. I hear Saw-yer in the deep south.

Heartcease

Soy-yer, but I've heard Saw-yer in the south as well.

However they pronounced it on One Tree Hill is how I've always pronounced it.

Soyyer

Well I'm in the south and it's definitely saw-yer to me and to the woman I know who named her daughter that. I would have never thought to pronounce it any other way.

It is a very subtle difference, but I think I say Soy-yer.

shellyco

Just like they pronounce it on LOST. I guess I can't decide if that makes it Soy-yer or soy-er but I'm going with the latter.

elizhope

I dont see much difference between soy-yer and soy-er....

Around here all the Sawyers are either pronounced Soy-yer or Saw-yer. I personally prefer Soy-yer

I've never heard it pronounced other than Saw-Yer.... which is how I say it also.

How do you pronounce lawyer? We say law-yer... same as sawyer. We're in the South. 

It's pronounced loy-yer in som areas.

Oddly enough I say both depending on the audience I am with. I switch back and for between Soy-yer/Saw-yer and Law-yer/Loy-yer without any problem.

I say Soy-yer and Loy-yer.

I have a typical New England accent.

I think they're pretty similar but I guess Soy-er. I've heard Saw-yer in the South like some other posters were saying.

Exactly like it spelled and I will not get out! Lol!

alphalyrae

I've heard all three. I'm not sure how I pronounce it, but with a Long Island/New York accent.

hmp1

Same here! I've never actually heard either pronounced that way. 

I can't say that I find Soy-yer and Soy-er to be pronounced differently though. They sound pretty much the same to me...and that's how I would pronounce it.

 

BC&LM

It really depends on how lazy I am being with my enunciation that day. I've said it both ways.

ETA: I would never say Saw.yer like the southerners though. It sticks funny in my northern mouth, which doesn't appear capable of saying that way.

augrl0307

Another southern girl here, didn't know anyone pronounced it any other way than Saw-yer

jesstellina

Soy-er. My hubby would say saw-yer, just like people have different pronunciations of lawyer.

Kmommy91

Soy.yer

skio
