Welsh is one language that gives Dutch a run for its tongue-twisting money. The "ll" sound is a real bear. From what I can tell, it sounds like a soggy "htl" coming around the corner of one's tongue.
So "Llewellyn" would be pronounced in phonetic English something like "HTLOO-weh-htlun"..."y" often sounding like a short "u" as in "run".
Sometimes I think people try to make their native language virtually unpronounceable to the outsider.
