How do you say Canberra

[mellie]

Can-berr-a (more flowing)
Can-ber-ra (as per youtube clip)
Cam-bra as in camshaft (This is how Bart says it)


I was taught to pronounce Canberra like this Sydney girls teacher taught her students to pronounce it...(ignore the end part of the youtube clip- It's a bit silly)

Perhaps it's a Sydney thing

Most treat the i as silent and some include a y

Canberra is an Aboriginal name which means "Meeting point" and you can say it in many different ways. Some people say "CAN-bruh" a few use "CAN-buh-ruh" and a small number of people pronounce it "can-BEAR-ruh"; all three forms are correct.

Note: there's no 'M' in Canberra....

Guess it's a bit like Sydney, being an aboriginal world for perpetual dribble, drizzle. As it is always raining there!

Or some may pronounce it as Sidinee!!!
