How do you pronounce the French word: "Dordogne?"?

Question

I saw the name in the book "Timeline" by Michael Crighton and wanted to know how to say it. Thank you!

Answer 1

Dordoñ if you know Spanish. the last e is silent.

Answer 2

"Door- doh-nyeh"

Door= pronounce like the word door but with a French "r" (which is uvular, in the throat.)

doh= pronounced like "dough" nut, or Homer Simpson's saying "doh!"

nyeh = pronounced nasal - an n sound and then "yeh" like the beginning of "yes"

french speakers gotta remember the diffence in the french and english r.
