You can get into regional dilects too. You say Fi-oo-me, I say Fay-oo-me. You say Dee-anver, I say Dav-ver. Lets call the whole thing off! (old song...old joke)

I think Lakenvelder and Barnevelder must be German, or possibly Dutch. If German then La-ken-fel-der and Barn-eh-felder.

Stress on 1st or 2nd syllable? Does the 'a' lean toward an American 'father' or a 'catch'? I'm getting a few of these come spring so would like to know what I have!

That would be a French pronunciation though, and they are Chinese birds.
