It was a good read Abriael. Thanks for sharing! (^_^ )-b

I must say, this brought a big smile on my face:


When people try to pronounce "Van Gogh" in English, it usually sounds like "Van Gow". In Dutch (yes, i am a Dutchman, in case you are wondering (^_^ ) ), the pronunciation of the "g" and "sch" almost sounds like you're rasping your throat. (^_^ ) We call it a 'hard "g"'. An exception to the rule is when the "g" is used in conjunction with the "in" like "-ing" in the word "Testing". Then the pronunciation is exactly the same as in English.

We Dutchies are wierd like that. (^_~ )

Another good example is "Scheveningen". One of the popular words the Dutch like to "teach" foreigners. (^_^ )

But, it gets even more interesting! It even depends if your from the west (coastal area) or the south east (near the Belgium and German border). In the south east, people use less of the "rasping" sound and add more of a "hiss" to their "g".

Gotta love the Dutchies and their language. hehe. But, i know exactly what you mean. (^_^ )

I noticed this tidbit as well, and I have to wonder... which version was Abriael using?

Americans typically say "van go" like you mention, as if they're trying to encourage their pet vehicle to move, and the British and others seem to like the equally wrong "van goff". Me? I just try to pretend a Klingon is saying it for the right pronunciation xD
