There's no book called Kings in the Bible. There are two book, First Kings and Second Kings, which therefore both have more than one syllable. And I still don't buy the argument that Laos is one syllable (though I know there's an argument).

Actually, Kings was one book originally. Kings was split in two for easier printing in 1517 and was originally only used by Protestant Bibles, although Catholic Bibles later adopted the change. Kings is still a single book in the Hebrew Tenach.

In the US, "Laos" pretty much rhymes with "house", so one syllable would be correct.

Actually, the "s" in Laos is silent. It's from the French colonial rule, they always had to add letters you don't pronounce in the end of words. When I visited the country, everyone pronounced it as "Lao", except for fresh new tourists

As far as I know, Seoul has always been pronounced "sole". Laos always used to be pronounced "La os" - there seem to be multiple allowed pronunciations today: "Louse", "Lao", "La os". As far as I know, Joel is always pronounced "Jo el", although this may not be the case in the USA.

It is the case and coso is wrong. No one in the history of the U.S. has said Billy Jole. That sounds extremely hickish. Ol' Billy Bob Jole and Bertha Jane. It's Joe-ul. The second syllable may be said quickly and unstressed, but it is always there.

Laos = Lao (Americans pronounce the silent 's' and say "Louse" but still one syllable), Seoul = Sole, and yes, Joel = Jole. The man himself pronounces it that way. @someone2018 is incorrect.

@coro what a ridiculous comment, you are saying an entire language it wrong, just because english has different words and pronunciations for them? So everybody in the entire world that is writing their own language, write every word they use wrong, just because it is not english. That is so.... ok, I'll stop myself there.

But someone said what it was in their language and you say that that is wrong?? English is nót the only language in the world and other languages are nót wrong, or less

(and yes, this is an english quiz, because there is be to be someone making that pointless comment. That is besides the point, other countries are not wrong, when they spell or pronounce words the way they do.)

Me, too. I find it weird that this is even a debate. A quick internet search suggests that most dictionaries show it as two syllables, while most people seem to say it as one. Very odd. I always think of it as two, just said rather quickly. One syllable sounds very weird to my ear. I work with a Joel, who is Latino, and he pronounces it as two syllables, but with a "y" sound: Yo-El.

Oh please. "There's really no reason for a North American to have heard of it"? As an American, it's really ok, and dare I say useful, to learn about cities in the UK (or anywhere) other than major ones. Do you think people get an accurate understanding of the USA if all they know about are things in NYC, LA, Chicago, and Miami?

I've always pronounced it Lo - me, or low may. But I have no authority for this, maybe it is pronounced like loam? I think you have something here.
