[Ansteorra] Pronunciation...

[Sebastian de Rolstoun]

Greetings,
> I will soon be changing my last name (when it gets

> Vasquez" to "Cabeça de Vaca".

If my history serves me correct (if not I can call my
my mom and she will be more than happy to correct me),
"Cabeza de Vaca" was not a name, but a title.

> My question is this....How do you pronounce the "ç"?

there is a differant pronunciation all together, the
"cedilla" (c with the little thingy under it) is
pronounced as a "z".  I do not believe that the letter
is used any longer.

Thought I could help

Sebastian
