If the sausage Bologna is pronounced "Balloney" in english, how is the city of Bologna pronounced?
Side note: It's also called Parizer in reference to Paris, the city that is neither Bologna, nor Lyon, another french city which would be the actual origin of the sausage.

En English (US): bah•low•nee
In Italian: Bo•low•nya
In Intensely Human: ba-log-na
That's how I pronounce it, just to be weird. I also say ja-lap-oh-no and kay-so-dilla.
I don't think Americans really say bah•low•nee when refering to the city
If you know Spanish: gn is, mostly, pronounced as ñ
