Commonly Mispronounced Words 17 - Yeddyurappa

By the time you read this, this gentleman might have resigned. Most people pronounce his name as यदियुरप्पा, however the correct pronunciation is यडियूरप्पअ

His full name - for those who are interested - is Bookanakere Siddalingappa Yeddyurappa, pronounced in KannaDa as ಬೊಕನಕೆರೆ ಸಿದ್ಧಲಿಂಗಪ್ಪ ಯಡಿಯೂರಪ್ಪ. If you can read Hindi, this would be

बूकनकेरे (the 'eh' sounds are short) सिद्दलिंगप्पअ यडियूरप्पअ 

In English (now this will be tough) it is

boo-cun-uh-keh-reh sither-ling-upper yuddy-your-upper
