Oklahoma - email sent by jksw

Very educative . . . . .
I want to sharpen my knowledge more . . :)



 
A friend of mine, who is a teacher, once told me that in one of her Geography lessons, she had difficulties getting some of her students  to pronounce the name of a city, OKLAHOMA!
 


A Malay student, read it as O.K. lah Omar 

A Chinese student, read it as Okra Oma !

An Indian student read it as Wok Kla Wo Ma !

\
A Chennai student read it as Okkalama!




Don't laugh, but do you know how to pronounce correctly, the word....
" Oklahoma " ?



The Proper Way is:

OKLA...   (with a pause) ... HOMA
(There's a gap between the 'a' and the 'h'.)


let me show it..............................
