The cat’s right. Who pronounces full city names? TOR-ON-TO? No no no, T’rono.
CH’RAWWWWWWWNAHHHHH!
'churona
Sorry edit: T’Churonah
Entirely acceptable.
T’raw’nah
Yup, entirely valid.
I like that spelling. I may use it henceforth.
Yup, if you’re pronouncing Calgary as a 3 syllable word, you’re doing it wrong.
But then again, there are some cities where people add letters that aren’t there, like Vangcouver
Cowgry

Stoon

Yanks: MAWN-tray-all

I was listening to their pronunciations of streets like Elgin and Colonel By and they were atrocious.
Okay so technically, Montréal is about the mountain that is in the middle of the city.
Mont-Réal (Réal meaning Royal in Catalan, actually name of the mountain being Mont-Royal) Mont = Mount Réal/Royal = Royal (found this Wikipedia article about the word which is also a name for people in Québec https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Réal_(given_name) )
Montréal is the mountain.
Montréal is also the name of the island
Montréal is also the name of a city on the island
Montréal is also the name of the CMA that surrounds the island
Montréal is also the name of a park on the mountain of Montréal that’s in the middle of the city of Montréal that’s on the island of Montréal inside the CMA of Montréal.
West Montréal can go fuck itself.
The key is to soften/glottalize that t.
