In lieu of actual pictures, an anecdote.

So, I'd be using my faux-Scottish accent -- it may be pretentious, but it was usually unconscious and, if I may say it, rather good -- and people who knew I was from Canada would ask where I was from.

Still using said accent, I would pronounce it exactly (and I have an excellent ear, if poor phonetic typing) the way they did: "Al-BAIR-tah."

Confused look: "Where?"

Patient and measured repetition: "Al-BAIR-tah."

Continued confusion: "Where?"

Giving up, I'd then pronounce it in as Western Canadian an accent as I could muster: "...'lBURDa."

"Ohhh, Al-BAIR-tah!"
