I'm sorry to tell you that they say 'nitch'

Oh wait both "nitch" and "neesh" are correct. "Nitch" is the original pronunciation, "neesh" is a modern one. youtu.be/4mTRJ55JF4o?...

I'd accept "nitsh" or "neechi" but definitely never "nitch"

"Neechi"? I've never heard that!

Istg I used to hear ppl say that but it could very well be just my brain inserting an intrusive "ee" sound at the end.

ah, no, they're with us on that I think, keesh, but that's reminded me of someone who used to say kwitch-ee, but I can't remember their nationality.

Which sort of implies they should pronounce quiche to rhyme with kitsch.
