How do you pronounce Devialet
#1
May seem a daft question but I have about five different versions Big Grin

You're from the North East?  You guys don't know how to pronounce anything? Dodgy

One hifi dealer told me "it's DVLA, like the guys in Swansea".  This is probably good enough for the average Englishman, although I think the correct answer is more like DuVLA?

Any Frenchman out there to put the idiotic Englishmen right on this one?

I always pronounce it 'Dev ee ah lay' because it sounds more French. No-one else (including French speakers) seem to pronounce it like that though.

Well I have a few but try to stick with Der-val-yay. In my Geordie accent of course ;-)
