This video shows you 45 Towns-Villages-Hamlets with funny names in various parts of the United Kingdom. I also show you where they are located, and often pictures of the area. I am an American and I do not know the proper way to pronounce most of these names. So, I am going by the way they are spelled. I also mistakenly called a speed sign in kilometers, and not the Imperial mile. - Travels with Phil copyrighted by Phil Konstantin -

I wrote a whole comment about Dull and Boring as I live near Dull. I deleted it once I realised you had it in your video However, I’m from the south of England, I grew up near Liphook (it’s pronounced Lip-uk) but I went to school in a place called Cocking.

You wer right and wrong. You were right that you pronounced almost everything incorrectly, and wrong about the speed limits being kilometers per hour. The UK is an uneasy mix of metric and imperial (the original imperial not American imperial) measurements. As such it's miles in the UK not kilometers.

Thanks for the corrections.

W is a vowel in the Welsh language, as is Y. Welsh doesn't have the letters J, K, Q, V, X, Z in the alphabet, but we do have DD (a hard th sound like in "the", th has a soft sound like in "theatre"), FF (soft f sound like in "fear", a single f sounds like a hard v like in "van"), LL this one is too hard to describe by text.

Thanks for the info. Cherokee (part of my ancestry) uses the Greek pronunciations to do the English phonetics pronunciations. So, similar to Welsh, the letters do not necessarily match the standard English pronunciations.

@@TravelsWithPhil In Welsh, taxi would be written as tacsi, ambulance would be ambiwlans. Where English uses a "k", Welsh would use a "c", it's never pronounced as an "s" sound.

I've heard Penny-Stone@@Lazmanarus

@@TravelsWithPhil That depends on where you're from, accents can vary widely just a few miles appart. Shrewsbury is pronounced as you see it on one side of the river, on the other side it's pronounced Shrowsbury.

That's common all over the world. We have a mountain here in San Diego whose name is pronounced two different ways.@@Lazmanarus
