I've lived in Wales all my life and I never really thought about how the Welsh language looked through non-Welsh speakers' eyes when they read it. Last week I met up with some Habboxers in Cardiff and a few of them were trying to read out some of the signs that we passed while we were there, and I could not help but laugh at their attempts of pronouncing some of the words. I loved the look on their faces when I said the name of a village in North Wales that I live near, which is
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch.

What I'd like you to do is find me a word, from any language, that looks completely impossible to pronounce.

The best entry will win!

Prize: 5 credits + 10 rep
