ArchivesDutch pronunciation:
in reply to a message by Lois
The Ducth pronunciation is very difficult to convey in writing, because it contains two sound that English doesn't have. Let me try anyway:
SKHUY-lur
The KH is meant as a Dutch G, similar to the Scottish CH in 'loch'
The UY has as symbol in the phonetic alphabet the: œy. In my experience most foreigners trying to learn Dutch tend to say OU (like in 'house') to this particular sound. I can best describe it as being sort of in between OU and UY.
