Wait what? There is a Cœur D’Alene in Idaho?

Now I’m curious and wonder how you guys try to pronounce that very French name (with a strong R at the end of cœur)

Edit: I watched some videos and most of the people seemed to say "core da lane" with a different emphasis on lane. And one fella saying "coor d’alane"

In French it’s Coeur like beurre, and Alène like À laine. Anyway, it’s cool to have a place named "heart of" something

    I’m from the south so I dunno if this is true for locals there, but I say it almost like the beer coors light without the -s so “coo-ER de lean”? I think, it’s had to type that one out how I say it… and now I’ve said it too many times to remember how I normally say it

    Coeur like beurre

    Since I'm not sure how many anglophones know how to pronounce beurre, it sounds like "bear" but the r sound is made with the uvula and rolls off into the distance.

    I was speaking with a friend yesterday who had no idea French had a guttural R, so I don't think it's common knowledge. The œ also trips them up
