pronunciation?

tcho-ya? sah-gooahroh (with the g almost swallowed)? gheela(I don't know how to transcribe the 'g'-sound in English, as it does not exist in English).

OK, I admit, I do speak a few words of rudimentary Spanish, picked up from Chicano friends...

Roman
 
Gouda cheese is a good one. It's that g/h sound again (as in Gila) and the d disappears.

I've always had problems getting my head around Slavic languages written in Roman characters, such as the place name in Slovenia -- Ptuj -- and those vowel-less Serbo-Croat names like Krk.

Then again, there's a place name in London with six consonants in a row, GHTSBR

Cheers,

Roger (it's Knightsbridge, of course)
 
And there's a finnish word consisting of seven voals. But i've forgot what it is. It's something related to brides and the night and such :)
