Sri Lankan proper nouns

Many Sri Lanka proper nouns are very difficult for foreigners to pronounce. Cities have names like Anuradhapura, Kurunegala, Nuwara Eliya, and Trincomalee. People have last names like Goonitileke. Gunawardena, and Jayatileke.

Arosha constantly has to help me with pronunciation (however I am getting a bit better, right Arosha?). When I am feeling like a complete idiot I make her try to pronounce Canadian cities like “Coquitlam” and “Kelowna.” It makes me feel better!
