English speakers will pronounce the letter strings the same way they would if they saw it in an English word. Take 'Braun' Caught Taught Naughty Autumn In English, the phonetics of all these words make the 'or' sound so to the English tongue 'Braun' would sound like 'brawn'. Its just a matter of not knowing any different. The habit isn't limited to English speakers either, Germans (and French, Spanish, Italians and many others) will pronounce English words 'wrong' for the same reasons, as will all nationalities of all languages worldwide. Even in England we pronounce words in a different way. Most southerners use the long 'a' sound so 'bath', 'path' 'laugh' etc rhyme with 'calf' yet in the North it is generally a short 'a' as in 'had'. We even pronounce scones differently (rhyming with either bones or cons). So how would your 'average' non Brit pronounce the place name Loughborough?

It is commonly referred to as Shitetenkunst and you can't get more common than that.

It must be translated "Bockshornklee" (Buck-horn-clover).
