Really tough:
* "Åland" (Finland): The "Å" is a tricky sound, and the rest of the name has a double vowel which throws off some speakers.
* "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" (Wales): This infamous Welsh village name is the longest place name in the UK, and that's just the tip of the iceberg in terms of its difficulty!
* "Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu" (New Zealand): This hill in New Zealand is the longest place name in the world, and is guaranteed to give even experienced speakers a tongue twister.
Others to consider:
* "Kuala Lumpur" (Malaysia): The "K" is silent, and the "ua" creates a unique sound.
* "Ulaanbaatar" (Mongolia): The "aa" sounds similar to "ah," but with a bit more length.
* "Worcestershire" (England): This English county name is challenging due to the double "o" sounds.
Ultimately, the "hardest" name depends on your native language and experience with different phonetic sounds.
