In poland we saying it precisly as we should then weird….
I think words should be pronounced as accurately as possible (and easy) as they can be, but accents are generally where I draw the line. If a sound is common in English that I think it should be used, like not pronouncing the Ls in tortilla or using a qu sound for croissant, but accents are hard to switch to on the fly. Honestly I think changing the pronunciation of historical names is a good idea, but it doesn’t matter too much
i believe its something more like greatest king

I’ve never really thought about it but as someone who is surrounded by lochs including the biggest in the UK, I’ve always made a certain noise in my throat for the “ch” sound in loch instead of a hard k sound but I didn’t know there was a name for said noise, Very interesting 😃👍
