How do you pronounce selamat datang?

"Selamat datang" is pronounced like this:

se-la-mat da-tang

Here's a breakdown:

* se-la-mat: The "e" in "selamat" is pronounced like the "e" in "bed".

* da-tang: The "a" in "datang" is pronounced like the "a" in "father".

It's a bit tricky to get the intonation right, but the important thing is to emphasize the first syllable of "selamat" and the second syllable of "datang".

Important note: "Selamat datang" is a common Indonesian greeting meaning "Welcome". It's pronounced slightly differently in other languages, like Malay.
