PRONOUNCING the names of Welsh places has been an age-old struggle for many - both for those who live here and for those visiting the area.

Google has revealed the 26 place names in the UK that accrue more than 1,000 searches for pronunciation help each year.

Among them were; Edinburgh, Worcester, Marylebone, Bicester, Greenwich and Loughborough.

But, what about those places more local to us in Flintshire and Wrexham?

Well, earlier this year we asked our readers which places they thought were most likely to be butchered when it came to pronunciation.

These were the Top 15 in Wrexham and Flintshire according to our readers (in no particular order) ...

  • Llay (Wrexham)
  • Hawarden (Flintshire)
  • Cefn Mawr (Wrexham)
  • Cefn-Y-Bedd (Flintshire)
  • Caergwrle (Flintshire)
  • Acrefair (Wrexham)
  • Rhostyllen (Wrexham)
  • Mynydd Isa (Flintshire)
  • Gwersyllt (Wrexham)

  • Talacre (Flintshire)
  • Alltami (Flintshire)
  • Ysceifiog (Flintshire)
  • Rhosllanerchrugog (Wrexham)

Let's be honest, some of them are, in fairness, very difficult at the best of times if you are not a first language Welsh speaker.

Others have simply become notorious for being mispronounced by almost everyone down the years.
