I found out about two years ago that I was pronouncing it wrong the whole time! (correct: caynay corso)

"caynay" corsos? That's a bit odd, haha. I've probably been pronouncing them wrong this whole time, too, as well as every dog trainer and Corso owner I've talked to!

Cane Corso (pronounced Cawnie Corso)

and this:

Cane Corso (pronounced Kah-Neh Kor-Soh)

CANE CORSO
Pronounced
CAH-nay COR-so

Pronounced Carn-ay Corso (Cane being Italian for 'dog' and Corso derived from the Latin Cohors meaning protector), the breed's name literally means 'guardian' or 'protector dog'. Historically, this term perhaps initially described a type of dog rather than a specific breed.

Cane (pronounced 'Connie') - which means dog.
Corso - derived from the latin word 'cohors', which means to guard or protect.
