ArchivesPronunciation of Adelais?
I'm not a French speaker so forgive me if the pronunciations I give are a bit off.
I am aware that when spelled Adelaïs the name would be pronounced ah-deh-la-EES. Without the umlaut over the 'i' I'm told it's pronounced AD-lay by a beginning French speaker. I was under the impression it was pronounced AHD-eh-lay, without the second syllable being as vocal but still present.
Which is correct?
Thanks!
