The word Himalayan is pronounced like Him-a-lay-an, NOT Him-all-ee-an.....

You got room on that hill for one more?

I've never heard it pronounced like that, and I live somewhere notorious for bad pronunciation. Is there another similar word pronounced like him-all-ee-an in your local accent?

No. I have no idea how that happened. Just someone I know that pronounces it that way
