Dutch actually Curmy, but the Dutch language is a derivative of Low German, so who's arguing? Jouet is pronounced Jew-ett (the "J" is more of a cross between "J" and "Sch") because the diaeresis (umlaut in German) hardens any consonant following it. Moet is pronouned Mow-ett for two reasons; the diaeresis as mentioned above and the vowel in "et" following it (Moet et Chandon), which hardens the consonant preceding it.
