pronunciation of " statues"

[wethba]

Is there anther pronunciation to the word statue or just this pronunciation /stæʈʃu:/

 

[emsr2d2]

Careful pronouncers will make it sound like "sta-tewes/stat-ewes". Most of the time (in BrE), it will sound like "sta-chews".

Is it correct to pronounce it "sta-tewes/stat-ewes"

If you have the lingual dexterity for it, it's fine.

/ˈstæʧ u:/ and /ˈstæt ju:/ are both accepted pronunciations in BrE.
