Where I'm from (south England, everyone says it as nyoo, in fact I don't think I've ever even met someone who said it noo.

I don't really say it like either... more like something in between those I guess :P

'Nyoo' sounds like someone is being sarcastic whenever I hear that.

It's all about noo.

well, I say it either way, it depends on if I have food in my mouth, have a cold anything that would impede my speech.

Whether it's "new" or "knew" or "dew" or "threw" or anything ending in "ew", I say it as if the "ew" is replaced by "oo". Although usually I say it "tew" fast for there to be a noticeable difference.

Noo. I pronounce things with -ew the same way as Ernie/\\

i just say the word... it depends on what accent im doing, because im an impressionist comedian.

I say it as noo, as far as I can remember, everyone around says it like that too.

It's looking like 'noo' is the majority and only truly awesome people say 'knew'.

somebody said I was pronouncing it wrong. I had pronounced it 'nyoo

I say new like this... Nyoo
