My mother first brought this to my notice that Tintin is actually not spelt as Tintin in French. It is something like tahn-tahn? I don't know it exactly, but given the difference in pronunciation in French and English, it is bound to be so. Am I correct?
And that brings me to another point. Is Tintin also spelt differently in other languages? In Bengali and Hindi ,as far as I know, his name is spelt Tintin, like in English. But are there any other different pronunciation of Tintin in other languages? |
