Default I know chris will chime in but...

I have always heard it stelled out in initials from so G-M-B-H however i am sure in germany they say out the entire thing just like with LLC(limited liability company) or Inc(Incorporated) here. You don't say Inc as I-N-C but you do say LLC as L-L-C. Therefore I am pretty sure you say it just like you would LLC. But you can call it Gesellschaft mit beschr?nkter Haftung.<ul><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmbh">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmbh</a</li></ul>

Put that thing on your nose with a nice big pair of black-framed eye glasses and you've got yourself a pretty damn funny Halloween costume...
