I went on holiday to Wales in the summer and I stayed in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. It's such a lovely place and I'm deffinately going to stay there again next year. Now I can say that I've stayed at the place with the forth longest name in the world!

my grandson practiced one day, went home repeating it, and said it to his parents (who thought it was gibberish) then told me the whole thing saying "mimmie, daddy doesnt believe that llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwryndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is a real word and real place" and he rattled it off like a pro. he just turned 7. took me 3 days to say it. lol granddaughter (his sister) 4, says it but mispronounces a few things like she says "ampicilia go go goke" she tends to leave out the "chwyrndrobwll" part. we have to remind her. Kids....learned it faster. tsk tsk. i feel old and slow. lol.they practically said it after a nights sleep, took me 3-4 days. lol

Thank you SO MUCH for producing it.

Hey, I am Indonesian and very fascinated with the name of this town. I am going to study in the UK by the end of this year and planning to visit this town during my stay. Fortunately I have managed to say it (after a very long practice LOL). For my Indonesian fellow, here is how to say it based on Indonesian spelling (I guess) : Khlan-vair-pulkh-gwin-gilkh-go-ger-ikh-wirn-drob-ol-khlan-ti-silio-go-go-gokh......Eventhough I don't think they are quite interested to see this video :(

[@ClockMaster-mq2hm]

Well, the phonetik transkription is: [ˌɬan.ˈvair.puɬ.ˌɡwɪn.ɡɘɬ.ɡo.ˌɡe.rɪ.ˌχwɪrn.ˌdro.buɬ.ˌɬan.tɘ.ˈsi.lio.ˌɡo.ɡo.ˈɡoːχ]

[@maialouiseowen]

My Great Aunt speaks fluent Welsh, and teaches it in an all boys' high school. She taught me the letter 'Ll' in Welsh is basically said when you lift your tongue to the top of your mouth to pronounce an L sound in English but then hold the tongue there and blow. A throaty, spitty sound is made. That is how the letter 'Ll' is pronounced in Cardiff. (well at least according to my Great Aunt and a few other family members)

[@shawncurtis184]

That is the most helpful thing I've ever read in regards to that pronunciation. Thank you and thanks to your great aunt!

[@Johnfwake]

I have been contacted by one person stating there is one letter wrong in the spelling of LLanfairPG. Brilliant observation. The sign Lorraine is carrying was until the day before affixed in Cardiff City Centre as a signpost where it had been for many years. It was replaced with a new sign in 2010 having the correct spelling. (i.e. with one letter change) It of course makes no difference to the song!! The sign in Cardiff was one of the most photographed items in the centre.

I'm not Welsh or anything, but the long sign in the video seems to have an error, or the name can be spelled in alternative ways. It reads "...gogerychwyn,,," and all sources I have seen says "...gogerychwyRn...".

[@menelise]

The sign used for the video is incorrect: it writes, "wyndrobwll" instead of "wyrndrobwll". Perhaps best seen at 3:07.

[@Johnfwake]

Have sent your enquiry to Hot Town Music

[@mittfh]

I've found a reasonable approximation of the ll sound is to place your tongue on the roof of your mouth and blow sharply. Once you're familiar with the basic pronounciation rules (e.g. 'w' = 'u' or 'oo', 'f' = 'v', 'ch' pronounced as in 'loch') it gets easier to build up... even though it deviates in several places from standard Welsh grammatical rules. Apparently the full name (everything from ~gogerychwryn onwards) was an 1860ish PR stunt to drum up tourism with the arrival of the railway...

[@Johnfwake]
