How to say: Helmand

Host Host | 11:19 UK time, Tuesday, 1 August 2006

A guide to words and names in the news, from Lena Olausson of the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Pronunciation Unit.

"Today's pronunciation is the Afghan province Helmand, where two British soldiers have been killed. This name is sometimes mispronounced as HEL-mand, when it should be hel-MAND - with stress on the last syllable."
