Fixed that for you.
Sure, but you can't expect english-speakers to pronounce tones. Imagine Georgians expecting english-speakers to pronounce საქართველო or god forbid, or Bantus expecting english-speakers to pronounce their term for South Africa in Xhosan.
I reckon i could have a stab at Xhosan, but only because I've watched so much Xhosan rugby commentary (the passion they have for their team is absolutely infectious and carries a game: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KPpVLIpt9eg&pp=ygUWeGhvc2EgcnVnYnkgY29tbWVudGFyeQ%3D%3D)
