Hello,
I'm very interested in how different native English speakers would pronounce the word 'skuyf'. This is not an English word but it is the name of a new product I want to launch in English speaking countries and I have no idea how native English speakers would pronounce it. Is there any doubt about how it is pronounced? Is it very different for American, Irish, Scottish and English accents? Capturing the pronunciation in text is a bit difficult so it would be very much appreciated if people would create an audiofile or a video in which they pronounce the word using vocaroo or mail it to me at pronounce.skuyf AT gmail.com. Please supply your country and accent and your age (for the age, an indication is good enough).
I hope some of you will take the time to do this. Your help is appreciated. Please also ask others to send me an audio/video sample so I can get a good feel for the general pronunciation. All audio and video files will be handled with great care and will not be shared and/or made public.
-edit- Added request for vocaroo because seems to be a good alternative to emailing. And fixed some small errors.
