Commonly Mispronounced Words 19 - tortoise

This is another commonly mispronounced word in India. In fact, I too am guilty of mispronouncing this initially. You might wonder why is this not being featured under the blooper series. Well under that series, I try to feature words which I mispronounce, but others generally get right. Whereas this series has words which others (which could include me at some time in the past) get wrong. 

So this word is pronounced in India as tor-toys or टॉरटॉइज़. The correct pronunciation is tor-tiss or टॉरटिस.
