The question is, do you pronounce it as though it's roughly Spanish or pronounce it like a daft Englishman and say "pie-ela", maybe with their "taycos" and "hherbs"

I've never heard it said with an L before. In the US it is common enough that I think people know what it is called, even if they don't know why.

@scottalanmiller I have, unfortunately. Just like in Kentucky, the town of Versailles is always called Versales. People should know better.

That's because that's the local name, though. That's different. Paella is always paella because it is not a local name. But if you made the city of Paella, Kentucky and they pronounced the town pay-ella, that would be correct, but eating paella there would be eating "pie-aya" in "pay-ella".

Most British people pronounce it with L instead of Y sound, sort of like how they pronounce the H in Herbs. Even though they're only some 30 km or whatever from Spain and France. 90% of all Spanish speakers pronounce LL like the semi-vowel "Y" (or J if you are familiar with and of most languages other than English and French), exceptions are Spanish in Chile which in some cases does pronounce it like an L, and some other small areas of South America that pronounce it like ZH weirdly, and parts of Spanish speaking in the Philippines. It's ironic too because some Brits also go out of their way to use the non-Catalan pronunciation of Barcelona (like Barthelona).
