What capital is the hardest to pronounce?

It's tough to definitively say which capital city is the *hardest* to pronounce, as difficulty is subjective and depends on the speaker's native language and pronunciation skills. However, some capitals are notoriously tricky for non-native speakers:

Some contenders for hardest to pronounce:

* Ljubljana, Slovenia: The "Lj" sound is difficult for many speakers.

* Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: The "K" and "L" sounds are often blended together by non-native speakers.

* Yerevan, Armenia: The "Y" and "e" sounds can be challenging.

* Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia: The "U" and "a" sounds can be difficult to distinguish.

* Kathmandu, Nepal: The "th" sound can be tricky for some.

* Wroclaw, Poland: The "W" and "r" sounds combined can be difficult.

* Quito, Ecuador: The "Q" and "u" sounds combined can be difficult for some speakers.

* Reykjavik, Iceland: The "K" and "v" sounds combined can be challenging.

Ultimately, the hardest capital to pronounce is the one you find most challenging!
