If you canโ€™t practice all these spellings, saying the 3 words (phonetically) โ€œFred patch myoorโ€ seem to be the easiest to phonetically encompass all of these. Youโ€™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.

That does not sound close. The slavic* word for peace is me-r, โ€œmeโ€ as in โ€œmeโ€ and โ€œrโ€ is rolling โ€œrโ€. Mostly everyone can pronounce this correctly.

*Polish (and sometimes others) say โ€œpo-ko-iโ€ instead, Ukrainian has a different pronunciation, Latvian (is balto-slavic, I know) adds โ€œ-sโ€ at the end.

Iโ€™ve heard the Slavic one pronounced โ€œmeerโ€, I think thatโ€™s more common than โ€œmyoorโ€.

Works for Romanian though, thatโ€™s pronounced โ€œpatch-ehโ€
