Is It Chair or Cha-ear? 12:24 - Jan 14 with 2723 views

Until recently every commentator has pronounced his name Chair, exactly how it is spelt. Just recently, commentators have been pronouncing his name Cha-ear.

So, which is correct? Anyone?

Btw - if he plays, this is how Ilias Chair’s name should be pronounced. Which may well come as a surprise to a lot of Superhoops fans! #QPR pic.twitter.com/v3YKNwFRlC

Here’s a clip of Ilias pronouncing his name as something like Cha-ear. (This was from the World Cup website, if I remember correctly.)

If you call the club, the waiting message you get is Albert and Ilias saying they are in the queue too. Ilias pronounces his name there as Chair, as in furniture.

So he probably does not care.

Let alone how they pronounce it in his place of birth, Antwerp, or in his mother's native Polish.

When the team line-ups are called at the ground before the match it's always Chair. I'd assume if he wanted anything else used then he would have said something to Paul Morrissey by now.

As Morrissey said...what difference does it make?

He actually pronounces it Sha'ir, which makes sense because there is no CH sound in Arabic.

Thanks all for the enlightenment

Left ear Right ear Final frontier Ilias Cha ear.

Shame he didn’t play for Zaire*.

* (if, like me, you were wondering why you don’t hear about them anymore, apparently they’ve changed their name to Doctor Congo)
