er... actually, the guttural 'g' should be in 'grand' or 'organize': try to taste the sound...

Having spent some time with Danie Krige, I note that he himself pronounces kriging with a hard 'g' (as in 'grand' or 'organize'), and not with the guttural Afrikaans 'g' (which of course is how he pronounces his name). Another pronunciation I have heard is 'krigging' - in other words, a short 'i'.

Dear Marcus Many english speakers pronounce the g in "kriging" as in prodigy which I think is incorrect and stems from a lack of exposure to Afrikaans (or Dutch). Kriging comes from the surname Krige which is pronounced like the G in organise but with a more throaty "ggaa". Strictly speaking the the G should sound a lot heavier than organise. Note: with advice from SPD.

Dear Listers, my question is a very simple one: How do YOU pronounce "Kriging"? Do you say: a) "Kriging" with G like in "organize" or b) "Kriging" with G like in "prodigy"? Please add also information about the City/Country you're living. I hope to receive a great amount of answers to evaluate it statistically and I promise to let you know about the results.
