For Los Angeles, I've= seen  
{losandjylys} and {
losandjeles}.  Yet any time I hear Americans
say it, the s is hard and
the last syllable is drawn out as in eee.

So it seems to me that the closest to local pronunciation
would be {lozandjylis}.


That sounds weird to me.
I say {lasAndjylys} (with short 'a' as in "cat" in the stressed syllab= le).

I've heard "Los Angeleeze", but I wouldn't say it.
