>I'd hear an English quee1-uh4 and a Northern New England quee1-ah3, to borrow the tone markings from Mandarin (http://wellgot.ca/phonetic/4tones-e.htm).
I'm not sure about the numbers. In England it would be quee-uh but I think that in the North East (Newcastle) it would sound more like quee-ah with a short "a" and the emphasis on the second syllable.
