I agree that Jack's correct. I was trying to supply context and got hung up on there being various ways to transliterate, etc.
Great link. It's a shame that their US subsidiary did not use /ˈhwɑːˌweɪ/ _and_ Hua Wei on their placard.
It seems to me they're trying to make a pun in the interests of marketing, not officially changing how their name is pronounced. WOW check out this phone.
I did notice them trying to establish a connection to wow, I pointed it out as a pun on their name. There are certainly other more unfortunate connections to be made, for sure. As far as this thread is concerned, I think we can establish that Jack was vindicated.
So you're arguing with the company that makes the phone? It's their company. Don't they get to determine how it should be pronounced? And is it really dumb for the media to pronounce it how the company says to pronounce it?
According to Huawei themselves, it is Wah-Way. The "Wow Way" on the advert is a pun on their name. Jack's transcription could be due to the different ways Chinese characters are transliterated to English. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGAqvpYLiGw …
