as in Paul de Longpré. If you can give IPA that would be great. Thank you in advance.
You do not pronounce the "g" in French and the "on" sound is closer to "lumprey" in English.
Check it out by typing it on this IPA:

Lon-pray
Lon: same sound as in long without the g which is a mute letter in French.
Definitely NOT 'Lon' as in London which would be sounded ' lone' as in pylon.
It is the French sound of 'on' where the n is not accentuated as it is in the English language.
L-oh-ng-pray
The ending sounds like "Ay"
The "o" kind of has a "stuffed up nose" kind of sound
Longpray
I could be wrong. "é" is usually pronounced "ay" in French, so I went for my best guess
it sound like
longupea
AT THE END IS A SOUND THAT SOUND LIKE THE LETTER A AS IN "A" AND NOT AN E SOUND LIKE IN "PEA".
