In addition, how would you pronounce words you have never seen before, probably proper nouns? Is there any standard on how a word should be pronounced to follow?

"Des voeux" is French for Wishes - say "day vur" (but don't pronounce the 'R')
"Langem" is my guess for the other one - but it looks English and this is my north England accent so probably best not to trust that one.

If you are referring to the surname 'Des Voeux', the correct pronunciation is 'De Vo'. The pronunciation was anglicised when the family came the the UK in the 1700s.
