I always pronounce it emphasising the 'Meadow' part but I hear some people emphasising the 'hall' part.
Also, why do people in Sheffield pronounce the word 'tongue' to rhyme with 'long' rather than to rhyme with 'lung'. I know they do in Manchester as well.

There's no real emphasis on either syllable how I pronounce it; it's Meadow-hall.

i just pronounce it meadowhall. i think. I'm a posh southerner, i dont think i emphasise any particular part of the word. sometimes i say meadowsprawl if i'm trying to be funny.
Tongue is tung, not tong, where im from. I used to have a friend who said everything in a typical southern way except for the world bath. she's pronounce bath instead of barth, and yet grarrrse instead of grass. mad cow

to be "tung" rather than tong (like that place near Bra'tfudd)it surely would have to have been spelt with a "U" and not an "O"?
and as for "grarss" and BArth, and "Glarse" there's no r in any of those words, same as with the word "Drawing" its Draw-ing" not "Drore-ing" there's only one "r" in that word!
