Q11 How do you pronounce the name "Van Gogh"?
A11 The pronunciation--it's difficult to put into words. The "Van" is a bit like "Fen" with the V sounding like a half V and half F. The "a" isn't quite like a short "e", but it's softer than North Americans pronounce it.

The Gogh--it's tricky. The first G sounds a bit like a guttural H, the "o" sound stays the same pretty much the same (but not as harsh sounding as the "o" in "go" and the final GH is sort of like a guttural CH, like in the name Johann Sebastian Bach.


Sounds like people trying to pronounce his name have NO IDEA how to pronounce it.


Nope.

"Goff" is just silly. It doesn't make sense according to any rules of pronunciation. - 05/06/2010 02:02:47 AM 265 Views

No, certainly so. Carochi's Grammar of Nahuatl from 1645 conclusively disproves your wikipedia. - 06/06/2010 04:32:52 AM 250 Views
Quite possibly. - 06/06/2010 09:45:20 AM 234 Views
See...there was a logical flaw in your use of wikipedia. - 06/06/2010 02:21:44 PM 212 Views
I think the British version sounds like they are not trying at all. - 05/06/2010 10:21:19 PM 233 Views
