Topic: Pronunciations Posted: March 03 2006 at 17:26 |
Not really sure if this should be in here or somewhere else, but, here goes.
Does anyone know how to pronounce the word Duul, as in Amon Duul........with the 2 umlaut's above both u's. I've been trying for years to get someone to give me the correct pronunciation, but as yet no luck...so i'm crossing my fingers in here people.

Try this: Round your lips as if you want to say 'tool'. Then say 'even'. The sound you get - let's call it a rounded e - should be the correct pronunciation. If you don't succed with this - I'm sure erik is right: The bald ladies will come up with a better solution.

It helps if you speak French. The umlaut in "Düül" is pronounced like the "u" in the French word "tu". The consecutive umlauts mean it is a long vowel (at least that's how we pronounce it. Better ask a member of Amon Düül themselves; maybe they put in a glottal stop between the two "ü"s and pronounce it as a two-syllable word, "Dü-ül"). The "a" in "Amon" is pronounced like the "u" in a word like "bus", the "o" like the "o" in "oven". Try pronouncing the English vowels "u" and "e" at the same time, and you will get the sound of "ü". "Düül" is supposed to be a Turkish word; I could however not find it in a Turkish dictionary. "Amon" refers to the ancient Egyptian God Amon (or Ammon, which is the more commonl spelling; but both spellings exist), who was depicted with the horns of a ram.

I always pronunce it "Ammon Duel" but I'm not convinced it is said that way!!
Zeuhl is also a hard one to pronunce, I also see it as "Zool"

"Zeuhl" is not hard at all; Magma sing it often enough. It sounds like "tsoil". Which means it is pronounced the way a German would pronounce such a word, since "Z" is pronounced "ts" in German and "eu" "oi".

Why don't you just pronounce Amon Düül the same way that it's written?

We here pronounce 'Ah-mon doo-ool' or simply 'Ah-mon dool'. We use the umlaut only to show that the 'u' is pronounced after 'q' or 'g', so for us it is always 'u' (oo).

and that's an impossible thing to do if French is not your first language. i never knew any English speaker who has been able to pronounce the French u properly!

Should try my town's name - Loughborough - always catches Americans out, who tend to say something close to: 'low-bureau' - wrong. "ough" can be pronounced at least 8 different ways, and two of them are found with this word.
