on a related note, I hear Brits pronounce Nestlé's the same as "nestles" (where USians say "NESS-lees".Lots of young Swedes pronounce the shoe label [naik].
In Brazil too. Even [náiki], since it's not very easy for us to finish a word in a consonant (except m/n, s/z/x, r and l [pronounced as a w, as a matter of fact]).

[il me faut continuez en anglais] The question of what's the most mellifluous language is always subjective but for me it would have to be Portuguese. Sadly I never got far into formally learning the language but have collected Brazilian music for many years. One of the greatest compliments I ever got was while hosting a radio show of Brazilian music a (Bahiana) listener called and told me I have "no accent".
