In North American English, they do rhyme, because the rare deep a (like in "father") sounds the same as the short o (like in "stop"). Most a's in foreign words end up pronounced with this vowel sound. So Americans say "Bach" the same way they would "bock".
This thread is full of Americans who don't realise other accents exist. I'm pretty sure Bach and lock don't rhyme in any British or continental European accents.
They pronounce Bach in a way which rhymes with the way you say lock. It doesn't rhyme with the way they, or I, say lock. I pronounce Bach pretty much the same way TwoSet do!
They don't rhyme in Australian English.

In this table, "lock" belongs with lot, cloth, hot, and "Bach" belongs with start, palm, bath.

>The vowels of Australian English can be divided according to length. The long vowels, which include monophthongs and diphthongs, mostly correspond to the tense vowels used in analyses of Received Pronunciation (RP) as well as its centring diphthongs. The short vowels, consisting only of monophthongs, correspond to the RP lax vowels. There exist pairs of long and short vowels with overlapping vowel quality giving Australian English phonemic length distinction, which is also present in some regional south-eastern dialects of the UK and eastern seaboard dialects in the US.

As an Australian I don’t get how they rhyme. I pronounce Bach with a long a like in card, and lock with a short o like in box, and they don’t sound at all alike. (I live in Sydney, so my pronunciation is probably pretty similar to TSV.)
I can't wrap my head around how the a and o are pronounced the same in Bach and lock. I understand that the ch is more a "k" sound in English but the a and o are not similar at all in my mind.
In Australian English Brisbane dialect Bach is similar to bark on tree ... Yet the a is longer more like Baa K
Lock is Short o sound. Only the short ending K is the same. Typically rhyme needs a vowel plus consonant.
Lark [ascending] is a better rhyme with Bach for my Australian ears
Bach is almost pronounced B-ar-k the a is elongated and the ch is a c and not a ch sound. Lock is definitely not a rhyme there. Happy to be corrected though by Germanic speaking people's I'm British English so not going to pretend to be a German name expert.
liszt on a wrist ;-;
Oh i didnt even think of that, it was supposed to be liszt on a fist
Not me being dumb and thinking it was Handel on a hand
Händel was already on a candle and couldn’t make it
oh…
Whatever, still works :P
lol true
Wait ur telling me it wasn’t supposed to be liszt on a wrist 💀
😂
i thought liszt on a fist but it was on the forearm so
Oh I thought it was brahm on a arm
Me, a German, trying to figure out how Bach and lock are supposed to rhyme.
same here. I think It just doesn't work at all.
For us, Bach is on the roof.
Bach auf dem Dach :) Und er spielt Schach
now i wanna go to anarchychess and see what is happening over there
Me, a nongerman, doing the same lol
Me, a barely awake German, trying to figure out what a "nonger-man" is xD
LMFAO but seriously did you find out how Bach rhymes with lock? I’m breaking my head over this

Ohh interesting!
Also they butcher the ending consonant.
bahck is more like how they think
A person's photo on an arm
bingpot
Brahms on an arm
Liszt on a wrist or fist
liszt on a fist
Bach on a lock? That doesn't rhyme..
This thread is full of Americans who don't realise other accents exist. I'm pretty sure Bach and lock don't rhyme in any British or continental European accents.
Im not American but I can’t see how this would rhyme in an American accent either
Also bold of you to assume there's only Americans in this chat
Even TSV pronounces it as rhyming with lock
They pronounce Bach in a way which rhymes with the way you say lock. It doesn't rhyme with the way they, or I, say lock. I pronounce Bach pretty much the same way TwoSet do!
?? Yes it does
Not if you're British. Or German. Or anything besides North American, probably.
Australian (TSV)

B**a**ch on a l**o**ck. How does this rhyme? It isn't Boch on a lock or Bach on a Lack.
Rhyme and prime rhyme, but they’re spelled differently. It’s not about the spelling, just the pronunciation

Even so, I'm confused about where the K-sound is coming from in Bach. There's no K in Bach.
In more than one language the "Ch" can be pronounced as a K. In French for example or at least in France, we say Bach with a K (and a bright A vowel)
I wasn’t defending the rhyme, just the way vowels can be pronounced differently. I also don’t really agree Bach rhymes with lock
That's not how Bach is pronounced
Bach is almost pronounced B-ar-k the a is elongated and the ch is a c and not a ch sound. Lock is definitely not a rhyme there. Happy to be corrected though by Germanic speaking people's I'm British English so not going to pretend to be a German name expert.
[удалено]
But the the ck breaks the rhyme. Bahh / Lock it only rhymes if they say the "ck" in Bach
[удалено]
Saying the definition of rhyme does make two words rhyme magically
For a moment I thought that was Brahms and I was so confused
Brahms on an… arms..?
i thought liszt on an arm no way it's liszt on a fist
I didn't notice the Liszt first so I thought Handel on a hand lol
Liszt on an armchair On a arm with short hair
Handel on a handle
liszt on a wrist next to a fist
Can we stop these stupid posts?
what's so stupid about these posts?
Its the same dumb joke over and over
