Folks, it doesn't matter how Quebec is pronounced in other languages,
by international convention it is pronounced Key' bec. The whole
purpose of the IPA is make sure people are understood, so right or
wrong by what you're used to, this is how it's pronounced, just like
Oscar is pronounce Os' cah, not Os' car. And nine is pronounced Nin' er.

As for the origins, how these words were chosen, which I believe was the
original intent of this thread, I have no idea. Does anyone else?
