[SUP]17[/SUP] Now tell us what you think about this: Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
In my mother tongue, Arabic, the proper way to pronounce Caesar is/keɪsər/although the s sound doesn't exist in Arabic when it comes to the word Caesar. We have another sound but I failed to transcript it. Also, that pronunciation is mainstream among Arabs. However, in English it seems different. Is the below pronunciation for the word Caesar correct? I got help from the Free Dictionary.

P.S.: I am accustomed to pronouncing c as k unless it is followed by either e-century, i-cigarette, or y-cycle.

Note: I think that the right/exact symbol in AmE for BrE /ər/ is approximate retroflex /ɚ/.
