You can find MP3s with the pronunciation of the Dutch names mentioned in this forum on my website:

http://homepage.mac.com/schuffelen/dureq.html

(just above the three B/W pictures)

Please note that there is no sound in English like Dutch EI/IJ (or Y in Dyk.) It's somewhere between RITE and RATE. If you say 'T(h)ijs' like 'Tice' it has too much of an A-sound - 'Thijs doesn't rhyme with 'Thais.'

UU in 'Van Buuren' is somewhat like EW in DEW.

For more detailed fun with Dutch:

Hope this helps you guys,

Dutchman

The reason Pete Tong and a lot of other british and american dj's and mc's pronunce PVD's name like 'dike' is because they are not German. If you listen to anyone Live Set of PVD in Europe or better yet, Germany, you will hear them pronounce it like this:

'Paul Van Dook'. Best examples are from his recent set at Einslive Rocker.

Armins's name is produced Armin Van Buuren (extend the 'u')

"Tijs" =

Armin van Buuren Armeen von Boorn

I hope that is right way to say his name

Ties or Tays or Tice is NOT correct.
And Dook for "Dyk" isn't correct either. We just have such a 1337 language that you guys just can never learn

Yeah, but it's really hard to describe what "Tijs" is pronounced in Dutch, because as far as I know Englsh doesn't have a letter combination that sounds like the Dutch "ij"...

kai tracid?
