View Full Version : How to pronounce 'Cabal'
I personally think it's pronounced like "cabble".
What about you?

having shopped around for the right pronunciation, i've found that it is 'ka-bal'... a higher tone than 'ball'
ka as in caffeine. not the heavy inflection of car.
ka as in car or care (without the r sound)?
and ball as in the thing you bounce?

It's a short opening syllable followed by a longer closing syllable.
k'-barl is how I'd write it phonetically, but I'll find the official phonetics....
