This looks like an English trans-literation of Russian. My best guess would then be that it's pronounced Pi-ya-ka.<BR/><BR/>The last one actually makes me want to say pee-ka. Though I think the middle "i" would give you more of a "y" sound.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15771924243879740522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914415.post-1135933381967851222005-12-30T04:03:00.000-05:002005-12-30T04:03:00.000-05:00I don't like that middle one.
