That’s meDégingandé: "déguingandé" instead of "déjingandé".
This reminds me of ’nucelar’ weapons, which I first heard from Bush. It’s funny how it seems to be perfectly accepted.The "ecsetera" thing is common in English as well. People also say "ecscape."
I've heard the """correct""" pronunciation a few times, but indeed, most of the time you hear the other one.I have never, ever, heard it pronounced right.
Ah, gageure, my mom's pet peeve! I could never get it wrongThis reminds me of gageure, which I’ve heard pronounced correctly only once in my life, by a high-school French teacher of mine (she basically taught us that word). The few times I’ve heard it ever since, it was pronounced as spelled. But maybe this is a specific case because you can’t guess the proper pronunciation from the spelling, like Laguiole and de Broglie.
I don't think I've ever heard the "correct" pronunciations of those...Dégingandé: "déguingandé" instead of "déjingandé".
Abasourdi: "abassourdi" instead of "abazourdi".
Too busy pumping, maybe.I was wondering where you had been

I like the line: Elle nont eskoltet les mals conselliers.Posted this one on one of the game threads, but it has its place here as well, reconstitution of Middle French pronunciation, by linguist A. Z. Foreman:
An even better video from him is this one, different stages of French arranged in chronological order:
11th and 13th centuries kinda make me think of some varieties of Catalan, phonologically-speaking.
I never tried it, but I guess it would be hard indeed if Latin/French can't be of any help!English of the same period is much harder.
This one rings a bell. I either I heard it on this forum, or it's part of a longer video/show I listened to.
