I need the "Americanized" pronunciation for "St. Gobain Desjonqueres". It is a manufacturing company here in the US.

Thanks a million!!!

I would call them and ask them how they want it said.
Or call the company & if you get their voicemail they'll have it on there.

well ... liz, i'd hope you'd chime in because i spent waaay too much time looking for a contact number in the u.s.
they're actually all over the world, including egypt.
here in 'merica they're primarily manufacturing facilities.
one # i did find was a joint in georgia, which was closed.
natch, the outgoing message says S G D 'stead of that long french (freedom) name

Hey There,
I purchase beer bottles from this company and all the rep uses is
Saint G0-Bay-N.
My wife is French so here is what I'm told: Day-jjawn-quwhere. The j is a jg as in Jean Claude Van Damn, and Jacques Cousteau....
They make beer bottles and a host of other closure type containers. If you cant find out I can call the rep to find out tomorrow.
Here is the link:

Well if this is the french pronunciation "Day-jjawn-quwhere" then the american version would have to be "de Junk Wear" right? Ok of course I'm kidding. but it's kind of like making Jaque Penne out of JC Penney,

There is no "american" pronunciation...as I tried and my wife just laughed at me.....Something about I did not roll the "R" correctly at the end...Thats why I do not speak french!
