Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word exactly rhymes with 'Yorkshire'. Many English county names end in '-shire', pronounced /-ʃə/ (e.g., Lancashire, Cheshire, Hampshire, Berkshire), but they do not rhyme because the stressed vowel differs. Note that the standalone word 'shire' is pronounced /ʃaɪər/.
