      'Dook' does sound about right. Surely someone can tell us the correct pronunciation?

      I had a Vietnamese student last year, I wish I'd asked her.

      I’ve always pronounced ‘Douc’ to rhyme with ‘fluke’ (not rhyme with ‘book’) but I have no idea whether or not this is correct.

      I'd say "Dook" as that's what I've heard most others call them and it seems to make sense.

      I pronounce it "Dook" and I've also heard people pronounce it the same way.

      That is a very sickly / ill looking Douc.
