    Yeah, I know of a guy from NJ who pronounces it as "nish" - not neesh.
    But then, he has successfully marketed his course on the web for 3 years (and is getting close to 7 figures in combined revenue), so, rather than correcting him, when he talks, I just listen, like others :D

    yeah it's been bastardized something awful
    neetch, nish, nitch... anyway you can think of and it's been spoken
    we canadians - we pronounce it the CORRECT way ;)
    the etymology of the word is from the french verb nichier - pronounced neesh-eee-ay en francais

    parlez vous francais mon amis?

    in standard german final e's are shwas - which are neutral vowels that aren't stressed and at the end of words they are usually silent
    so it would be neetch - or nee-chuh if you prounounce the shwa
    that's standard german though, and there are different dialects
    and some would prounounce it nee-chee

    another case of tomato, tomahto

    i did not meant the neech, in hindi!!
    sorry for the late reply,

    neech means, people who are bad in a way! means low mentality or something!!

    but then, it deponds on the accents more than anything else!:)
