But, in general, the surnames of Latin Americans of Catalan descent are pronounced like Spanish spelling, that is, Manuel Puig's surname is not /putch/ but /puig/. And I think the surname of Sylvia Rexach is not pronounced /reshak/ but /reksatch/, becuase she is Puerto Rican.
However, I am not sure whether Castilian-speakers in Spain are aware of the fact that Carles Rexach's surname should be pronounced /reshak/, or whether most Castilian-speakers are generally ignorant of Catalan pronunciation, so that they pronounce the surnames of Catalans (let alone Latin Americans of Catalan descent) as if they were Spanish.
I also wonder if French people pronounce the surname of Marie-Josée Roig as if it were French /rwa(g)/. ▲ Collapse
