to whomever can answer this question:

i'm american, but my father's family name is gyure. what is the proper pronunciation? our Americanzied version sounds like "guyer" but my grandmother told me the original, proper pronunciation would be more like "juhreh" with a hard 'G' and a flipped 'R'. are either of those correct?

thanks.

kezdi: Re: Gyures of Vajan
Your g.mother is right, it sounds like that in Hungarian. The gy letter combination is a separate letter in the Hung. alphabet, and sounds like a soft g, which is close to the Eng. j sound.
There is no hard G sound in there, if you mean like in Gol.
I don't know what flipped R means, the r is like in run.

Margaret: Gyure
According to Endre Sebestyen's "Magyar Reader", published by Expert Printing Company, Pittsburgh, 1948, "The sound of the letter (Gy in Hungarian) is wholly unknown in the English language. The single sound uttered when pronouncing it, falls somewhere between the sound of dy and dzs." Gyure would then be pronounced "Dzs-re" - the e sounding like the e in met. Luke, where were your Gyures from?

The Gyure family..that emigrated to Whiting, Indiana was
closely related..several instances..with my grandmother's family...Resan...several of her relatives were born and lived in Vajan...they re-grouped in Indiana...several still there. I am still attempting to find my grandmother's actual place of birth as her older brother Gyula WAS born in Vajan, but the family moved (?) prior to her birth.
