Name pronunciation[edit]

So which is it, ​[la.vi.lə.ni] or [la.vil.ni]? Those are very different pronunciations. I don't think we should be telling people how to pronounce his name if we have no idea. Kaldari (talk) 21:06, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's [la.vil.ni] in French, but in France you will hear almost all journalists pronounce [la.vi.le.ni]... Withenemies (talk) 21:56, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if that's because they looked up our article to find out how to pronounce it :P Kaldari (talk) 20:45, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
They pronounce it [la.vi.le.ni] (as if it was an "é"), not [la.vi.lə.ni]. I don't think I ever heard [la.vi.lə.ni]. Correct french pronunciation :) Withenemies (talk) 21:13, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
