Greetings to you, Pink_Barb.

Prosciutto is actually an Italian word that means 'ham'. It is one of the many loanwords that English adopted from other foreign languages. This thinly sliced ham is made from the hind legs or shoulders of pigs and aged during a dry-curing process.


Prosciutto has three syllables pro-sciu-tto. We can pronounce it as '/prəˈʃuː.təʊ/'. 'Prə' as in 'protect', 'ʃu' as in 'shoo', and 'təʊ' as in 'toe'. We can simply say this word as 'pro-shoo-toe'.
