How do you name this Canadian province? "I'll tell ya folks, it's harder

''(Prince Edward Island)''

I suggest {la dapluprinseduard} or {la prinseduard. noi daplu}, but I'd like to
know what the Francophones call it.

Canadian Francophones call it Ile-du-Prince-Edouard. For the record, the francophone version of some other Canadian provinces are Colombie-Britannique, Nouveau-Brunswick, Nouvelle-Ecosse, and Terre-Neuve. The rest are identical in both E and F.
