Even on LA local TV, they
pronounce it Los HAN-ge-liz.

Los An-gle-ess grates on my ears more.

The competition for the country’s worse mayor is pretty stiff. Garcetti and De Blasio are going to be tough to beat.

When I was growing up, there were two ways to pronounce the city’s name:
“Los ang lees” and “Los an-gel-es”. You’ll still hear the first in movies from the 40s and the second became universally used starting in the late 50s.

And now it’s Los an-hel-iz like Spanish speakers prefer.

Probably started with Miranda Veracruz de la Hoya Cardinal
