Common Mispronunciations of Beaumont
Not BYOO-mont
The eau is a plain long o, the same three letters that give beau its sound. No y glide belongs at the front.
Not boh-MON
English keeps the beat at the front and pronounces the final t. The French original nasalises the ending and drops the t, but the anglicised name does not.
