How Do You Spell DONOGHUE?

Pronunciation: [dˈɒnəɡhjˌuː] (IPA)

Donoghue is a common Irish surname, but it can be a tricky word to spell. The phonetic transcription is /dəˈnɔːhjuː/. The first syllable "do" is pronounced like "duh". The second syllable "no" is pronounced like "noh". The third syllable "ghue" is pronounced like "hyoo". The "gh" sound in Irish is actually silent, and the "ue" is pronounced like "yoo". So, despite its confusing spelling, Donoghue is pronounced like "duh-noh-yoo".
