Answer 3

(vey yea ho) I take french! It sound a bit spanish though.

Answer 4

that's not French...it's spanish...it's either va-ye-ho or val-ye-ho, depending on which area they're from.

Answer 5

It is indeed of foreign origin, to pronounce it French way it would  depend a lot on the double L :

1) If they do not pronounce it :

Va-lay-jo (do not pronounce the d sound in jo)

or

if they pronounce the double LL :

Va-lee-ay-jo (do not pronounce the d sound in jo)

I would go for the first one.

Answer 6

Answer 7

not spanish and german...Pronounce it (Vally jeho..)
