The Asian Games have begun in this South Korean city. All the vernacular papers and Indian news channels are mispronouncing this word. The Hindi newspapers are writing the name as इन्चियौन or इन्चियॉन. The news channels and radio channels are also pronouncing it like that. Given the fact that a Doordarshan newsreader was fired because she mispronounced Xi Jinping, is this a fit case for firing all the news anchors.
The name is pronounced as inchhan (using Pronunciation Key)
in-chun (rhymes with shun) (using respelling)
इन्छन (using Devanagari)
