Welcome! Wondering about the pronunciation of Carignan?
My name is Franz Lang, a German-Hongkongese independent linguist, language enthusiast, serial traveller and movie buff. I am now fully quadrilingual, speaking French, German, Cantonese and English fluently. Over the years, I’ve also developed a convincing understanding of Portuguese, Arabic, Yiddish, Russian, and many other languages. The goal of my channel is simple: to help you say any word with absolute confidence.
So what about Carignan? While vacationing in the Languedoc region, I ordered a glass of Carignan and ended up in a long debate with the sommelier about the silent ‘n’. It’s a word that beautifully illustrates the historical phonetic shifts between Spanish Mazuelo and its French counterpart.
📖 Meaning and Context:
Carignan is a red grape variety of Spanish origin (Mazuelo) that is widely planted throughout the western Mediterranean, particularly in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France.
