Having reading the posts thus far and having listening to, say, Indians speak English I can't help saluting thus:

Awe Kaiser

Languages are a hodge-podge.

> Awe Kaiser

This is actually closer to the original Latin pronunciation than the modern English pronunciation of "Ave Caesar".

That's how you'd pretty much pronounce it in Latin.

"Ah-way", IIRC, and yep the C was a hard C.
