I'm an Aussie of Welsh descent. According to sources on the web - Originally the town was named Llanfairpwll, often shortened to Llanfair. Apparently a smarty looking for publicity for the town decided to extend it - as it is known now. The joke is that this really is a sentence. It translates as, "St Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysillo near the red cave." Double "LL" is pronounced- by putting the tongue on the roof of the mouth and blowing a breath- sort of ! My daughter has it in her Welsh name but in Oz we just pronounce it as "L". Love your channel.

Aussies would just call it Gogo 🤣🤣🤣
This was hilarious & kudos to you for the attempt - respect!

[brucemckenna]

and some think Woolloomooloo in Australia is difficult!!! It's a breeze compared to that Welsh one.

Everyone loves to talk abbout Llanfair, but who knows about Taumatawhakatangi­hangakoauauotamatea­turipukakapikimaunga­horonukupokaiwhen­uakitanatahu, in New Zealand? That's just not fair.

The weatherman did a great job of pronouncing it. I'm from South Wales and live in Australia. Sometimes it is shortened to Llanfair P.G. Very good, in Welsh, mewn Cymraeg, da iawn !

[ryan_r]

Aussies would definitely be shortening/abbreviating that one!
According to google, In English it translates to "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave."

We have a few suburb names here in Adelaide that tend to stump non-adelaidians.
Thebarton is the main one that turns people teeth inside out. As a kid it was great fun to watch interstate celebrities try to pronounce Thebarton when reading out a donation at our televised Christmas Appeal fundraiser. Some had trouble with Munno Para, Salisbury and even Glenelg. There were a number of regional town names that took a bit of a hiding as well, Nuriootpa being the main one.

Kudos mate. Creditable effort. You got a lot further than I did when I visited, made an absolute Goose of myself 😁

[bigoz]

I have a mate in Scotland who lived in Wales for a few years can pronounce it. I wouldn’t attempt it to be fair lol well done for giving it a go lol 😂

[milksheihk]

That town was only named that in the 1880s & it was called that specifically to attract tourists.

[Jamie_D]

Looks like he was proud of himself after finishing it :)

[iamkat-agnt-ash-kbt.]

🤣🤣🤣 I love this!! Hey come on Ian Welsh is really hard lol 😆
My family is Sunny Indian & Welsh so I've been learning Hindu & Welsh. Welsh is really tricky. lol

[ZosiaDabrowski]

Australian towns sound like a breeze in comparison hey!

[cyanide]

We in New Zealand have it beat with:

Difference is, you can actually pronounce all the syllables with ours.

[kirk]

There is a clip of Naomi Watts pronouncing it perfectly on Jimmy Kimmel also Hugh Jackman on Jimmy Fallon . 😊

[timtam]

We have a suburb here in Adelaide called “Thebarton” and people always miss-pronounce it as “The Barton” 🤣

[superhurricane]

in australia we'd just say lianwheelbarrowwheelbarrow. there's a lot of people who's last names are long and hard to pronounce in english so we just say wheelbarrow wheelbarrow. if their first name is hard to pronounce we call them a common name that starts with the same 1st letter like bob, jim, vic, tom etc.

[shagged-kfnj]

Did he forget the Gouch forget the U and we have it!!! Nice new microphone mate stay safe and keep warm!!
