Why? That's the correct pronunciation.

Well, more like Ock-ah-ree-na, but I imagine "awk" makes somewhat the same sound.

Ocarina is spelled with the katakana "o"

it's Oh-Ka-Ree-Na

ocarina isn't a Japanese word, and they literally use katakana "o" on any English word spelled with an o that's pronounced "ah".

so you still.

Still you, because pronunciations of words are not necessarily the same crossing languages

they're both acceptable and it doesn't mean the one most people use is wrong.

so yeah, there

Well I just looked to the Japanese because their letters always make the same sound, unlike English which has like 14 different sounds per letter.

That makes sense.

I wanted to know how to properly pronounce "Ivan" in Russian, but those Cyrillic letters are silly, so I looked at an English dictionary.

Thus why they are forced to pronounce words like ocarina incorrectly

So you consulted the Japanese language to see how to properly pronounce something in English. Do you also get your L's and R's confused frequently? Or should I say frequentry?

There's no reason why they couldn't use the "ah" kana instead to make it pronounced like that

"ah" doesn't work either, though

It's just impossible to have that sound in Japanese. Just like most languages don't have a "th" sound like english.

while it's true that "aw" can't be properly pronounced in Japanese, ocarina is pronounced "ah" and that can be.

They spell "occupy" like akyupai >_> though I have seen omelet and octopus spelled with "o". Anyway...

Out of curiosity, do you guys call the baskeball team the "Boston Kell-Ticks"?

Sometimes, yeah.

This isn't the same thing though. "Sell-tics" is the official pronunciation of the team's name.
