Bi oooo tap es tree
I'd pronounce that as bayou
What's fun in this thread is that I can perfectly understand how Bayeux is pronnounced but, if I didnt, none of the awnsers would help me either to learn how.
Fuck english.

Bayeux is french and that's why i know how to pronnounce it.
"Buy er tap iss tree", "buy yuh" or "Bi oooo" are trying to approach the pronnunciation from an english spelling perspective. Something impossible as shown by the variety of responses because english spelling is retarded.
>>1353038
I think it's something like "win" but I'm not sure

Cough through though plough hiccough. I don't think any language on earth has such a chaotic spelling system. (And I hear English speaking people complain about French spelling!)

It's either something close to "win" if you're from the north, and it's something close to "Noee" if you're from the south I believe.
Don't quote me on that though.
>>1353038
The "ng" sound is a phoneme that most native English speakers can't pronounce; the closest approximation is the "ng" in "singing". You neither pronounce the n nor the g fully. If I wasn't at work I'd record myself. "Wen" is usually good enough.

It's always given me a chuckle that the Romance languages use the v sound and claim to be the descendants of Rome.

I believe you mean plow and hiccup, respectively; and the way things are going with modern social media I wouldn't be surprised if 'thru' replaces 'through' soon enough.

Classical Latin also didn't have y, so Cynthia was actually pronounced "Cunthia".
