Riffault - (riffoe)
Chadash - (HA dash)
Moennig - (moan nig)

anything i'm missing?

Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. they are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which was already but too easy to arrive as railroads lead to Boston to New York

Maynig or mening is Hans Moenig's pronunciation, don't recall which one it was, but not moan at all.

If you pronounce the river Vitava as Moldau, you can also say whatever you wish, particularly if you are an announcer of classical music.

Buffet as in Jimmy
Buffet as in the Vampire Slayer
Buffet as in smorgasbord

Leblanc as in Mel
Leblanc as in bonk

Chadash as in Chanukah

Missing something? My pencil !
If I lose my belt, my pencil fall down

Against the windmills of my mind
The jousting pole splinters

The CH in Chadash is a bit similar to the German CH.

Funny that - I was just thinking of some strange pronunciations earlier.

Couesnon is almost like 'Kweh-no' or 'Quai-no' (almost as in 'volcano')

There's several presenters on UK's Classic FM that have some serious pronounciation issues - they usually say:

Tann-how-ser instead of Tann-hoy-ser
Marisa Roe-bells instead of Robles
Da-vor-ak instead of Vor-zhak
Till You-len-spiegel instead of Oil-en-shpiegel

(I'll bung on some more classics as I remember or hear them)

Last night a presenter mentioned a world famous tenor from Medina - I don't know of any famous tenors from the Isle Of Wight!

She meant 'Modena'.
