Launceston
Tasmanians all pronounce the word Launceston as Lonceston but most people from interstate add an 'r' to it and make it sound like Lornceston: This is how Tasmanians pronounce the name compared to many people on TV or on the radio, from interstate.
Editor's comments: The traditional pronunciation in Britain is different yet again. There it is pronounced as "Lorn-ston" (two syllables), not the Tasmanian "Lon-ces-ton" nor the Mainlander "Lorn-ces-ton" (both of three syllables)!
