'Kerala', but with 'Kam'.


That doesn't help me.... I finally got it figured out, don't confuse me! suave

P*D, my problem was more prosodic rather than the vowel pronunciation.

COM-uh-luh, right?

I had to say it out loud on Facebook Live last week, and I wasn't prepared. I said it with the accent on the first syllable.

MA, yes. I can hear very clearly in my head the description that it's like "comma" plus "la," if that helps you at all.

Also, this is an example of one of the usually invisible side effects of news in the age of internet. I rarely watch actual news broadcasts (and then I'm usually watching the Japanese news). So most of my engagement with names in the news is through written media...

Same here. I don't know how to pronounce the names of 45's dictator friends.

Erdogan? Not a clue.
