And if you think that's complicated, Gaelic orthography is even worse!
The word that's often used to fox English radio/TV announcers isn't LlanfairPG (that would be cruel: Llanfair pwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch , just to show off) but Cwmtwrch.

As for Gaelic - how about Beinn Laomainn (Ben Lomond) to take a simple one?
