Common Mispronunciations of Abdullah
Not AB-duh-luh
It is the middle beat that carries the name, so the opening ab runs past quickly.
Not ab-doo-LAH
Nothing lands at the end. The final syllable fades to a weak uh and the h after it is unsaid in English.
Tip: The name is Abd plus Allah, servant of God, which is where the two l letters in the middle come from.
