(Mexican hairless is not a correct way of getting around the correct pronunciation though )

Sort of, yes. The "r" is a cross between a rolling French "r" and a gutterel German one. The only way I can describe it is in the similarity of the "ch" sound in the Scottish "Loch" - think about it, change the sound to "lech", and then add in a slight rolling French "r".

Depending on why I call her, and for what, it is PEH'reg or Peh'REG.

And GHOTI of course is pronounced "FISH".

And it differs between north and south too. I've got a Welsh gparent, from the north, you can take her next time you go lol. She speaks proper Welsh too, not just Welsh English.

Her description of Welsh is, "it's a horrible language" lol

I know that one!
F as in rough
I as in women
sh as in station.

I quite like them Rockweilers meself.

I get a lot of people asking me what breed my 2 are, and how do you say it!
I don't think it's a hard one! "Chihuahua"

Did you hear about the man who took his children to the zoo?
When he got there the only animal there was a dog.
It was a Shih Tzu
