中文:兰韦尔 古因吉 尔戈格里惠尔恩 德罗布 尔兰蒂利奥 戈戈戈赫村
英文:Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
是威尔士的安格尔西岛的一个村庄,座落于梅奈海峡上,靠近梅奈桥和班戈。这是英国最长的官方承认地名,也是世界上最长的地名之一。村庄的名字意为“位于急流附近白榛树山谷中的圣玛丽亚教堂和红山洞附近的圣泰西里奥教堂”。

这个村庄是热门的旅游景点,来到这里的人们站在火车站与站牌合照(如图),参观附近的旅客中心,或者拿上自己的护照到当地的一间商店盖印。




LLAN - FAIR - PWLL - GWYN - GYLL - GO - GER - YCH - WYRN - DROB - WLL - LLAN - TY - SILIO - GO - GO - GOCH

LLAN - To start off with, pronounce this section as you would do the Scottish word "clan".
Then listen to the sound recording above taking particular notice of how the "ll" is pronounced. It is difficult to explain in words and is more easily learnt by oral example, but we will have a go here anyway. Lie your tongue flat in your mouth so that the tip is firmly touching the bridge behind your front teeth. Keeping the tip of your tongue in place, try and touch your back teeth with the sides of your tongue - now breathe out forcing the air to run strongly over the back of your tongue. This will cause a vibrating noise near your back teeth. Again, keeping the tongue in position, gently change the shape of your tongue until the sound becomes more controlled. This is the "ll" sound you are looking for. Listen to the sound file above and keep on practising.
FAIR - Simply pronounce this section as you would the english word "fire", (not like you would expect to pronounce the word "fair" in english!) and change the "f" for a "v".
PWLL - Now you have been practising your "ll" sound this will be a little easier to explain. The "pw" section is pronounced like the "pu" in the english word "put". Now add the "ll" on the end as described above. Now listen to the sound file again!
GWYN - You may have heard the Welsh name "Gwyn", well this is pronounced in exactly the same way. Just say the english word "win" and put a "g" in front of it. (pronounce the "g" as you would in the word "gone"). Easy.
GYLL - This is a bit more tricky. First say the english word "gil" (as associated with fish!"). Then change the "l" (as in "let") to "ll" as explained above. Listen to the sound file again.
GO - Looks easy doesn't it - it is! Pronounce it as you would the "go" in "gone"
GER - Simply say the word "care" but change the "c" for a "g".
YCH - Like the pronunciation of "ll", this is another tricky section to explain. Think of something you don't like and say "yuck". Now take the "y" from the beginning to leave "uck". Now change the "ck" to "ch" as pronounced in the Scottish word "loch".
WYRN - This looks more complicated that it is. Just say the english word "win".
DROB - First say the english word "draw" and then add a "b" on the end. Easy.
WLL - You've learnt this already. It's pronounced the same as "pwll" above but without the "p".
LLAN - Again, this is exactly the same as the "llan" at the beginning of this section.
TY - Simply pronounce this section as you would the "t" in "twig".
SILIO - Just say "silly - o". The "o" is pronounced as in "cot".
GO - As above.GO - As above.
GOCH - We're almost there. Simply say "go" as above, put the "ch" after it and that's it! Put it all together and keep on practising. Now there is only one question remaining ....
