RE: Month names collection / metastudy - Koen G - 20-02-2026
To me as a non-native speaker, French oi and ui sound just the same. However, these are now digraphs, and you need the "i" in there to get the sound. "Jong" would not sound like "juin", but like "long".
I guess one could argue that the vowels in jong and iollet were meant to be digraphs, but then someone else could say they were meant to be "u". This basically means we'd be ignoring these two months since we assume the writing on the page is unreliable.
