Some Australian place names are difficult to comprehend their pronunciation

Try this Māori place name......

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu

"Cockburn" sounds as if named by or after an early British settler, so as a personal surname its proper pronunciation would be (soft 'o').

Have I guessed correctly?

The Welsh Government have got into the let's-be-romantic-and-rename-everything game:

The local name of Mt. Snowdon, in North Wales where the language has remained fairly strong, has always been , but now the Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales has officially become - so mixing the two languages!

An on-line translator gives:

The adjective precedes the noun in Welsh.

I could make a fair go at pronouncing that, but can't guarantee being fully correct! I wonder which version is used by most of those living and working in the Park, a mainly agricultural area.

Incidentally my profile name is originally Arish Mell, and it is a real place, a small bay on the Southern English coast (shown in my profile photo.) I do not know its real meaning and etymology.

Here in Colorado there were mountains named after politicians and generals and universities that are now being renamed their original Native-American names. Some of them are hard to pronounce.

One that is often misunderstood. The Nullabor Plain. Its not Aboriginal at all. Its Latin "No Trees"😷

Are you going to tell us?
