	In English, all non-accented vowells have a tendency to become "uh", or the short "e" sound. So the way I've always heard Winawer pronounced in English is "WIN-uh-wuhr".

	I pronounce it Win-uh-wir this may be because i am jsut an ignorant american though. The most important part however is not the name but the opening it self

	English spoken a better try might be: Wee - na (like nasty) - wear.

	I propose.. French spoken: "VI-NA-VERRE" English spoken: "WIN-R-WEAR"
