How would you pronouce Vincent van Gogh? Or lingerie? Like lingerie or lahngeray?
I think we Canadians mostly go with the American tradition of "van go", unless there is an art connoisseur in the group. Sorry.
But we use the Quebec French pronounciation of lingerie, despite the dropped accent, rather than the mispronounced lahngeray. More like "lihn-jhay-ree", reflecting our pinched nasal sounds more so than Continental French.
