Sorry Alan.... It is pronounced La-TAH-kee-a.
Here's an earlier thread where this was discussed...
La-TAH-kee-a
But, here in the Sunny South we say Lat-uh-kee-yuh. :D

On the NPR radio news the other day, they did a story on the ancient Syrian port city of Latakia. The Syrians interviewed as, well as the commentators, all pronounced it La-ta-KIA with the emphasis in the last syllable. Not the second syllable like many pipe smokers do here.
When I first saw the word in print, I pronounced it (in my head) as la-tack-ee-uh. When I saw it being said in youtube videos, everyone was saying lot-uh-kia (last syllable pronounced like the car name).
