What is the correct pronunciation of the name of the composer Dvorak? I have heard radio programme announcers say it in several different ways, eg, Vorezhak, Duvorak, and so on. Which of them right?

wait so you want to posted a name and then anglicize it? Anthony Louis Baldy John Stevens Block Frank Shoemaker Louis Bateman Fred Showman Gage A. Motes the funnest part is guessing who they are! (most names didn't even get translated when coming to the United States, they were just spelled the way they sounded.) for instance - half of my family from italy "Abate" was translated to Abbott. another one would be Kobucci (Italian) translated to Kobuchi. EDIT: haha, oh man.... HAFWEN - George Freddy Transaction - that is priceless. :D

You sound the D, but don't make it a syllable. It's a two-syllable name:
DVOR-zhak.
Edit: In English it's still only an approximation.

I would say it as close to " de-vor-shaaak " This appears to be closest to what the wikipedia suggests in the first line. And the speakers both sound czech, male and female voices.
