Welsh blogger asks her Amazon Echo to pronounce Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

A Welsh blogger asked her Amazon Echo to pronounce the longest place name in Europe - prompting the gadget to come back with an incomprehensible reply. Ms Angharad, who writes about food, said to the Echo: 'Alexa, what's the longest place name in Europe?' Llio Angharad asked the Echo to pronounce all 58 letters of the town's name. It replied correctly, noting that the town near Anglesey in north Wales had the'longest town name anywhere'. However, the pronunciation was described as'diabolical' by a Welsh speaker on Twitter. The place name is translated, roughly, into English as: St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel Near to the Rapid Whirlpool of Llantysilio of the Red Cave.
