Naira is the currency unit of Nigeria, used to price goods and express value. It also appears as a given name in some cultures. In pronunciation, it is typically two syllables, with stress on the first: /ˈnaɪərə/ or /ˈneɪərə/ depending on speaker and language background. The standard Nigerian English pronunciation often aligns with native English phonology, producing a clear initial nucleus and a soft schwa in syllables two and three when pronounced as a two-syllable name in some contexts.
