== Modern Example of Pronunciation Illustrating Background ==
A modern example of a particular pronunciation demonstrating one's background or beliefs 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. This is an effect of his Muslim upbringing.
