World's hardest proper nouns/names to pronounce

[bhagat]

For me personally, this Indian city in Andhra Pradesh is the hardest to pronounce:

Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta

Which proper nouns/names do you think are the hardest to pronounce?

If you understand Telugu it is very simple actually it is three wards Venkatanarasimharaju+vari+peta
Venkatanarasimharaju is name of the person(very common name)
Vari means belongs to
Peta means place….

Venkatanarasimharaju is name of the person(very common name)
Vari means belongs to
Peta means place….

Venkatanarasimharaju can still be broken into smaller words "venkata" + "narasimha"+"raju"

BioChemistry/Macromolecules are the toughest.

2Fluro,3Chloro,4-7DiSulphide,8-9-10TriNitrate Methyl Ethane.

for me they were the pharmacology drug names-- ones thing was to pronounce them another to remember them...

Lol, try the IUPAC names for those drugs!! IMHO, the latin names of botanical/animal sources of natural drugs were tongue twisters! Latin is a funny language!

Welsh Names. Especially the town names. I don't even know where to start with them.

Icelandic names of people use patronymic.....all Icelandic people have a last name that ends with -sson for males or -dottir for female the prefix of the last name is the fathers first name. I think it used to be in all Scandinavian countries, but now only Iceland does. If you put that aside, I don't think they're that hard to pronounce....though I haven't seen too many Nordic names so maybe there's something I don't know.

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu.....this the world's longest and hardest proper name...its the name of a place in nz......

Dang some thing NZ wins at and beaten to it by an Indian

The name on the sign that marks the hill is "Taumata*whakatangihanga*koauau*o*tamatea*turi*pukakapiki*maunga*horo*nuku*pokai*whenua*kitanatahu",
which translates roughly as The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one.

Ok it sounds better in Maori than english.

Hardest words to pronounce, infact so hard no one in either India or Pakistan can manage it..... Independant Kashmir

I find some African surnames quite hard to pronounce.

For example,
'!bele' <- yes! This is a real surname! No kidding. Swear to god! and apparently it's pronounced '*click*bele'

'Ngarakana'.

You guys must listen South African's name the way they pronounce it is also amazing.. Once I was in laundromat and ladies were talking and there were plenty of strange sounds like 'Tic' 'toc' 'tch' etc and then I noticed that they have these accents in their communication and hence Mpumelelo mbangwa can't be pronounced by us.
