@EdwinG 4th option, but I also speak a bit of French so I know it's really "Mon-ray-al"

@stinerman My attempt at the French pronunciation is options 1 and 3.

It’s hard to describe it, because it’s somewhere between “ray” and “ree” in English.

@EdwinG I know what you mean. Using English words to approximate French sounds is inexact.
