Pronunciation of D'aoust in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Phonetic Spelling:[ DOO ]
Additional Information:
In the language of the Quebecois, D'aoust would be pronounced DOO, the same as the word "doux", which means "soft" as well as the expression "d'aout", which means "of August" (the month). Interesting example of how dropping a silent "e" (from the original D'aouste that referred to a town in Picardie) can evolve into a totally different meaning for a person's name.
Pronunciation of D'aoust in Mountain View, CA, USA
The first two letters D'A are pronounced like the first two letters of Dad.
The last four letters 'oust' are pronounced like "oo" in moo, with silent s & t at the end.
oust is also sometimes pronounced 'oost' like boost, but that's usually in France or Belgium.
So, pronounce it dah-oo, or dah-oost
