then he is making as false assumptions as me, because at least by Latin transcription Matha-lampa-rai is nothing hard to pronounce (I would assume H is silent and everything else read phonetically, all As as A in Alphabet, with last I read as Y in Yes), someone please prove me wrong about this pronunciation, I don't care about nuances in local Indian languages but by transcription I would assume this pronunciation and if it's not correct then it's issue with transcription and not me the ones usually messing pronunciation of foreign names are native English speakers who are not using phonetical languages, as European speaking phonetic language I've had never problem to read correctly names of Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Malaysian or Thai cities as intended since we don't give special pronunciation to each letter as illogical English language as for Okefenokee I don't really care about transcriptions made by native English speakers which are usually hilariously bad
