Talking Smart: Foreign Names
Lyn (Nor.)
In Norwegian language "y" sounds like French [u] or German [ü] (only if not at the beginning of a
word).
Lyngby (Dan.)
In Danish "y" is read the same too: [lüngbü].
Marseille (Fr.)
In French language "-ill" is pronounced as "y" in English "boy". So, the name of a famous city the
Frenchmen pronounce differently than many non-Frenchmen.
