1. French:
* "lwar" with a silent "r" at the end.
* This is the most common pronunciation, as "loir" is a French word meaning "dormouse".
2. English:
* "loy-er" with a clear "r" at the end.
* This pronunciation is more common in English, especially in the context of names like "Loir" or "Loire" (the name of a river in France).
It's always best to consider the context to determine the correct pronunciation. If you're unsure, asking for clarification is always a good idea.
