== Modern Example of Pronunciation Illustrating Background ==
== Modern Example of Pronunciation Illustrating Background ==
A modern example of a particular pronunciation demonstrating one's background is how presidential candidate [[Barack Obama]] pronounces "Pakistan" in the way used by Muslims from that area of the world (as "Pokiston"), rather than using the common American pronunciation. That casts doubt on whether Obama really broke from his Muslim upbringing as he claims, leading some (namely this sites editors) to question his veracity.
