Question

van Gogh
1.[væn-ɡóu,-ɡɔ́:x]
2.[-ɡɔ́x,-ɡɔ́f]

Which one is similar to the sound of Gogh in the Netherland, where Gogh was born?

Answer 1

Do we have the use 'van', not 'Van'?

Answer 2

I think it's usually pronounced the French way, since he mostly lived and worked in France, but either is correct. As for "van", in Germanic languages (German "von") it is not capitalized.

Answer 3

[go:x] is the French way?

Answer 4

Yes, that's the French pronunciation.
