Earache Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Not Welsh, but here's a local one that messes up the tourists; Saguache . As in Saguache County, Saguache Mountains, etc. Pronounced locally as "sa - watch". Like most weird names in western USA, it's an Indian name (Ute tribe). Meaning "Blue Earth" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Theres a place up the road from here called Congresbury and the ‘re’ part of it isn’t pronounced, it’s just Congsbury, you immediately know if someone’s not from round here if they pronounce it correctly. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
