The a in anyone is actually pronounced like æ. Unlike the a in hand.

The ø, however, is nothing like the o in one. It’s more like the eu in French, but doesn’t exist in English sounds. The Daniel word bøh (meaning boo) or øh (meaning uhm), does sound like the ir in bird, but that’s a rare pronounciation of ø that depends on the h.

    I'd argue as a sound it does exist, think of the 'uh' in 'duh'. But it doesn't have a single letter associated with it.

    That’s not the same sound. I tried thinking of words in English that would use the sound, but I couldn’t come up with one. If you think duh has the sound, then you’re not pronouncing “eu” correctly in French.
