How to pronounce Maarten?

Pronunciation of Maarten

MIGHter (to rhyme with "fighter"") would be a good approximation.

The R in this position usually does little more than "bend" or "colour" the open AH-sound.

In the common Dutch ending "-en" the final N is pronounced in the northern and eastern dialects, but in received pronounciation it is mute.
