WelshGo to Wales, look at the road signs and then try saying those place names.

But the Welsh are just being awkward.Besides, I can say abertawey as easily as swanzey so there's at least one place I don't need a redundant English name for. I'm sure it's also possible to render most welsh names into something that a language-challnged person like myself can say and sound vaguelly correct.
That said, Wales is a good example of somewhere where perhaps we can't pronounce the local names and have to rely on our own -- the same certainly can't be said of Deutschland, for example.
