| Comment | Loads of folk pronounce the 'ch' with a similar sound to the ch in 'chew', so the 'chan sounds more like the chan from 4-Chan or channel, instead of like khan.
Bew-CHan-an, when it should be bew-khan-un.
Similar to 'Sauchiehall' like you mention. Sometimes happens with 'loch' too. Basically, any word with the voiceless velar fricative 'ch' (<x>) trips a lot of people up (mostly Americans, and tbf, the countries you listed do make use of the voiceless velar fricative so they would pick up on it fast). |
