This is a list of words in English that have disputed pronunciations. English, unlike other languages (such as French), does not have a language regulator, meaning there is no standardized pronunciation of words; usually, a word's pronunciation is decided from how the majority of speakers pronounce the word.
For a list of more disputes, see English usage controversies.
