I believe La Criolla holds to the same Spanish pronunciation as Allende
with the "ll" sound of "ye" or "ya".....La - cree - o - yaw. This is
assuming the name place is a Spanish name and not Portuguese.

As for Mbale, I have a friend from that part of Africa and his last name is
Ncube. He pronounces it "new - bay". If the same pronunciation
conventions applies to Mbale, then it would sound like "ma - lay".

Rob Elliott's "Leighlinbridge" isn't pronounced the way it looks. I
believe it is pronounced "lock - lynn - bridge". Rob can clarify this one.

Go figure.

At least I know how to pronounce most of the Arizona meteorites. How far
off can you be with "Cat Mountain"?
