And so, can you tell me, Gilly – is it pronounced like it sounds or do the Brits contract it as they so often do? 🙂

I’ve never heard it pronounced any different from the way it reads NO MANS LAND, but its the sort of name that may be pronounced differently by the older generation of locals, dialects are dying out. http://www.bbc.co.uk/devon/voices2005/ I don’t know if this link still works (I think the sound clips have gone) but it was interesting even if Nomansland doesn’t feature.

Nomansland – no mans land – sounds like the German Niemandsland – a land, that belongs to no one 🙂

Except the British probably pronounce it so it sounds totally different than no mans land – perhaps Numsl’nd – ? 😉
