ArchivesRe: Dutch names & surnames
in reply to a message by Menke
Menke, thanks a lot!
I found that 'uij' is sound like 'ow', but also somewhat like 'iy' or 'oy'; e.g. Wieland Kuijken mp3 -> http://www.math.nyu.edu/~wendlc/pronunciation/sounds/kuijken.mp3
may I pronounce Sluijter like Slyoiter???

I think that's close enough, i listened to the sample, it's too much an English pronunciation, it's a more open sound than that. Therefore i made my own sound sample, with the Dutch words ui ("onion"), sluijter (your surname), huis ("house") and tuin ("garden"). Maybe this clears it all up.
