Ah ok, I did watch a video about somewhere in America not too long back where the residents have retained a very particular accent, I don't think it was Boston but can't remember where it was now. Apparently it resembles Shakespearean English. Accents are fascinating to me, how and why did they develop so differently in such close proximity in some cases.
We have some funky Native American town names on Long Island.

Lol, I can name some places in Utah that people struggle with: Mantua (man-o-way), Tooele (tuh-will-uh), Tremonton (tree-mon-ton, or if you're really local, tree-mon-uhn), Hurricane (hurr-i-cuhn)
