You must pronounce veal in a way I haven't heard before! I would sound the final "l" in a way similar to the ending of ville in French, which has to be sounded because otherwise it would be confused with "vie"!

I think it very much depends on the country in which your language originates. Different languages pronounce it in different ways. Another pronunciation not on your list is VEE.
