No luck finding a Dutch pronunciation, but the French one sounded...very French

Something I completely forgot. Uccle is in Belgium, so wouldn't the Dutch pronunciation be also different from the French? I guess the Mille Fluer part would remain the same across both languages...but what about the "of Uccle" part

The pronunciation probably does vary with different accents and languages. There are different accents in the recordings below the top one in that link, I am sure this breed name confuses many people!

It seems that there can't be anyone that could agree even in its country if origin. As a bilingual country, how would they go about establishing that. Very confusing it seems

I'm not sure why anyone would want to name a chicken breed with such a difficult name!

According to this website... "The Belgian d’Uccle bantam was bred for the first time in the small municipality of Uccle at the southeast border of Brussels, Belgium by Michel Van Gelder, sometime between 1890 and 1900"....

Maybe this guy never thought the breed would become popular enough to ever leave the municipality, the name being known to locals only.

We need to find out what this guy spoke! I'd assume that would settle it

Exactly. Once we settle this we can move to all the other D' breeds

Something totally random that came to mind after hearing someone on YouTube try to pronounce some chicken breeds. How do you pronounce Mille Fleur D'Uccle ?

In French, lol! Which I obviously can't do here.

Ok, my curiosity has been piqued!

Here is the pronunciation from a Frenchman... https://www.howtopronounce.com/french/mille-fleur-d-uccle-1#google_vignette

And here is a thread on it here on BYC... https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/how-do-you-say-mille-fleur-duccle.224317/

That was not from a French person... Nowhere NEAR a French person.

The d' is not pronounced like the Spanish would, as Dee, it's just a short D sound.

Honestly, closest I can say for it in English is Dookl. Although the sound is more beetween OO and Uh.
