[edit] pronunciation

Is this really pronounced in French as if it were spelled sounne-gau? kwami (talk) 08:18, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Pretty much, but there are some (great) variations depending on the local dialect. I did a quick search and I found several links related to its pronunciation:

• elsasser.free.fr - Toponymes d'Alsace (French), elsasser.free.fr - Elsàsser Ortsnàmme (Alsatian)
• fr.lettres.langue.francaise - "En vert et contre tout"
• On the French Wikipedia, the pronunciation was changed from Soungo to Soundgo (see [1])

Also, I found some media in which the name "Sundgau" is pronounced:

• France 3 Alsace: [2] (00:06, 00:13) / [3] (00:54), [4] (00:52) / [5] (03:52, 03:59) / [6] (00:07; 01:06)
• France Inter, Là-bas si j'y suis: Quelques pas dans le Sundgau (1) - [7]: 00:18, 00:44, 01:19; [8]: 00:27, 01:05, 01:09, 01:25; [9]: 00:01, 03:52... Korg (talk) 22:40, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. The two most accessible sound links don't have a [d], so I'm linking but leaving the IPA as is. — kwami (talk) 00:36, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
