Talk:Levin, New Zealand

My Name is Peter Levin born Wellington 1932 and the general pronunciation of Levin was 'Leveen' used by all in his youth including his family. He is categorical that this would have been how W H Levin said his name. I have a letter from Professor Arnold Wall (circa 1960s) and I quote " Certainly the correct pronunciation of your name is Leveen, not as is now generally heard, Levinn^[1]. I arrived in New Zealand in 1899 and at that time both Levin and the firm of Levin & Co of Wellington were always so pronounced" Professor Wall was, in his day, a noted and respected authority of the language and its usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Liripuat (talk • contribs) 23:47, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
