@EdwinG are choices 1 & 3 meant as English spelling of the French pronunciation?

@EdwinG it’s confusing my code switch. 🤨

@EdwinG I’m not sure I’ve ever even heard English speakers refer to it in French.
Since the question is in English I would say: Mun-tree-all

@EdwinG (Mon / Mawn)-tree-all always sounded out-of-town to me

@Django I know. It’s a hard one for bilingual (English-French) people.

My post was more targeted towards English speakers, hence no French variation - that one is more clearcut.
