All were, and I am a native speaker.

Considering how parochial most of England is, these are not really surprising. Sounds like the locals in these towns got tired of pronouncing all the letters and nobody outside the towns cares. Does anyone in, say, Manchester ever talk about Mousehole?

England and Britain are 2 different things

I got Happisburgh wrong. But how do you think this is pronounced: “Woolfardisworthy”?

I have visited Mous'l, that is why I knew this one.

i love both your voices

I studied a book in year 4 called the Mousehole cat. It was the only reason I got it

What about Woolfardisworthy (in North Devon)?

The only one that makes sense is Mousehole, you just say it with a Cornish accent. A lot of Hs are dropped in Cornish. I think to be able to pronounce a place name, it helps to be local and having heard it said before having read it.

Beaulieu and New Forest (not new nor forest) are worth a visit.

I'm surprised Worcester, Gloucester wasn't in it cause they get swallowed up in two syllables

Mousehole - my favorite ☺️👏❤️

When I see *Worcestershire* sauce in the supermarket, and it's supposed to be like "wus-teh-sheer"

Seeing as Norfolk got a mention, I'll raise you Stiffkey and Wymondam.

What about Marylebone? I e been stopped by American tourists asking for directions to 'Mary-Lee-Bone' but it's actually 'Marley-bone' to locals!

You don't need those. I have never met an American who can say Wostershire

Should have had Fowey on there. It’s pronounced Foy!

Should be called English place names given that you've left out every other 'British' country. I mean, you can't make a video with this name and leave out Milngavie!

a "kiss arse"?

Yeah and Liverpool is pronounced “Maislondrick”🤣

English spelling is just a shape made of roman letters that recalls a word. But it could also be a drowning or something and it would have been the same.

Torpenhow is always my favourite local one 😂 (Tro-pen-uh)

What about Godmanchester?

Mytholmroyd!

I keep getting recommended videos explaining how to pronounce words. But i already say everything things the schorrect way

What to expect from a nation that pronounces "lieutenant " Leftenant....

There is the implication of an underlying agenda to get something from someone with power through manipulative behavior.

And I, as a Portuguese native speaker, thought that Arkansas pronunciation was a thing 👁️👄👁️

There is nothing suprising concerning the pronion of enly pomes

You say the word begins with a schwa, but then you pronounce it with a short o, not a schwa. You're doing something wrong here.

I was able to guess Alnwick pretty easily, then the difficulty ramped up to 10

All! Maybe there's sth wrong with school system 😂

I’m British, never heard of any of these and got each one wrong. That’s English for you. 😅

Some places have changed to match the spelling, Godmanchester used to sound like Gumster, and Cirencester like Sister. It’s much more fun to keep these quirky pronunciations though, just to confuse the Americans.

The Beaulieu was sort of ok. You can add Bicester in there. Because it should be Bi-chester, not Bister

I used to live down the road from hatch beauchamp. Do you know? general tourists came through proud of thier French...

How's about Alves in NE Scotland. Most people would pronounce it Alves like Elves. but it is actually pronounced Al-Ves as two syllables.

Derived, of course, after the greek story of Obsequius. -The man who groveled and stayed downtrodden for his whole life before dying, being burried and getting his grave paved over so that people still walked over him in death. 🙄.. not really, 😅 but you could imagine something like that if you're as uneducated on greek stories as I am.

I could do them all except Happisburgh which I never heard of! And I'm British living here for 77 years!

It was Alnwick, Happisburgh and Frome for me.

Most places names are easy when you know the rules, the issue is some of them don't follow them! That said having to know the pronunciation is something you have to do with places everywhere. It is funny when Americans are confused but they assume that everyone was born knowing how to pronounce Arkansas

What about Cholmondeley, pronounced Chumlee 😂!

No one pulls a ə for the au in australia, and theyre wrong to not tbh. Əstralia mate

Stop using the word pronounce incorrectly. Substitution and contraction is not to do with pronunciation.

How many of these are only mispronounced because the locals started pronouncing them differently until the unintuitive way to say it way way different to how it's spelled. Or is it another idiots made weird choices, like putting a b in dept and now we have to live with a decision of someone likely with heavy metal poisoning.

Everyone of them, I hate it (the way they're pronounced) 😮

One that is probably just lazy,, A place in the West Country .Poughill, pronounced poil, like boil

The most insane is Worchestershire

This makes absolutely no sense but I take it

Is is bad I always thought Lewes was 'lose' until spending the day there
