Pronunciation

[edit]

Could someone who knows give guidance on how to pronounce the name Reuleaux. It looks like French but he was German. If I'm confused others might be. Gypsum Fantastic (talk) 23:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've pondered this - perhaps it's Rur-low (rur as in heureax, and low as in gateaux). Hopefully someone can clear this up? Booglamay (talk) - 20:18, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The guy happens to be my Great-Great-Grandfather! .. and my mother's maiden name. Its pronounced "rrroy-loh" in German, with a rolling of the "r". In English it would be the same i guess except you don't roll the r "roy-loh".
