Neess-wazz.

It's a mixed salad that comes from the city of Nice, pronounced "Neess". The "c" has a cedilla, which means you pronounce it like "ss". And "oise" is pronounced "wazz".

The s is not silent cause of the final e as others noted. However, I think the ending can sort of get swallowed up if it’s in a sentence in the way that native French speakers seem to blur many words together such that a whole phrase becomes two mumbled syllables.

I've seen saying NEE SHWAH, apparently incorrectly, for many many years.

No, because it is followed by an “e.”

The last letter is silent.

You pronounce the "s" at the end because it is followed by an "e." French major here.

Is the s in Nicoise silent? I pronounce it since that is how I learned French. It does sound better with the s silent though.
