Weatherman Perfectly Pronounces 58-Letter Village Name, Takes Internet By Storm Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is a village in Wales. https://youtu.be/CEgtBezjXMw There's probably no word too hard for this guy to pronounce. Liam Dutton, a weatherman for British TV station Channel 4 News casually nailed Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogery chwyrndrobwllllantysiliogo gogoch -- the name of a Welsh village, during a recent report . (No, that's not a typo. This place actually exists.) His spot-on pronunciation of the village name, which actually translates to " Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave," was shared in a video which was posted to Facebook  on Tuesday. The clip quickly went viral with more than 1.7 million views and 18,200 shares. But is anyone surprised in its popularity?  The man's basically achieved the impossible.
