<<<Ever since Sunday’s mass shooting at a Sikh Temple near Milwaukee, there’s been disagreement in the media about how to pronounce the word Sikh. Many national and local media outlets pronounce the name “seek.” But a media guide put out by the Sikh Coalition, a network of Sikh organizations and leaders, says “sic” is the preferred pronunciation: “Adherents of the faith are referred to as Sikhs. Sikh is pronounced sik-kh (“kh” should be pronounced as in Mikhail), not seek or seekh.”
The Asian American Journalists Association just revised its media advisory on the Sikh Temple shooting, and it now reflects the Sikh Coalition’s preferred “sic” pronunciation.>>>
