Help[Surname] Re: Pronunciation of the surname Chardin
in reply to a message by Philidel
They're both wrong since the last syllable doesn't contain the consonant /n/ but the nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ in European French and /ẽ/ in North American French (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_phonology#Nasal_vowels).

Yup, I just didn't know how to write that nasal sound (: Thanks for the information, French surnames always confuse me!
