This is sort of embarrassing, but everything I know about chicken breeds comes from book knowledge, and I don't know how to pronounce the breeds! Can you help me a bit?

I have a problem with some of them, it took me forever to say Penedesenca, because I kept saying it too fast and it came out pendesenca.

Wow! I was so far off on my mental pronounciation it ain't even funny. Glad I never talked about them to anyone.

I got another one for y'all. It may just be local hillbilly slang around here but when anyone mentions Australorps they say it like austra lop. The r is not pronounced. Is the r really silent or are all us hillbillies around here saying it wrong?
 
I am still unclear about Marans

I pronounced it Mu-rance for a long time with the accent on second syllable.

I have been told more than once it is more like Mare (like the horse) unz, accent on Mare. Mare-unz. I would like to know
 
Wyandotte- WYE-an-dot yes
Ameraucana- am-ER-uh-CAUN-uh close enough

And is it CO-shin, or CO-chin, or what? co-chin

And help with-
Appenzeller ap-in-zell-er
Aseel uh-seal
D'Uccle duck-el or du-clay (although I've heard more pronunciations for this breed than there are letters in the word
lol.png
)
Campine cam-peen
Crevecoeur crev-o-cour
Faverolle fav-e-roll
Fayoumi fay-ou--me
Kraienkoppe cray-in-cop
Maran (marans, not maran) ma-rans
Penedesenca pen-e-den-ska
Welsummer wel-sum-mer
D'Anver (always has an s at end, d'anvers, not d'anver) dan-vers
Catalana cat-uh-lan-uh
Norwegian Jaerhone Nor-wei-jan yar-hun (not absolutely sure on this one)
