    If you can’t practice all these spellings, saying the 3 words (phonetically) “Fred patch myoor” seem to be the easiest to phonetically encompass all of these. You’ll sound like an idiot and mispronounce it, but if you were to be trying to surrender to an authority, it would (probably) be sufficient.

      myoor

      That does not sound close. The slavic* word for peace is me-r, “me” as in “me” and “r” is rolling “r”. Mostly everyone can pronounce this correctly.

      *Polish (and sometimes others) say “po-ko-i” instead, Ukrainian has a different pronunciation, Latvian (is balto-slavic, I know) adds “-s” at the end.

      I’ve heard the Slavic one pronounced “meer”, I think that’s more common than “myoor”.

      Works for Romanian though, that’s pronounced “patch-eh”
