That's a whole other can of worms. Is the right pronunciation:
- The way the locals says it?
- The way a subgroup of locals of a particular linguistic group say it?
- The way the rest of the country says it? (In Australia, there is at
least one town were the inhabitants pronounce it different from pretty
much everybody else in Australia. I understand Maine in the US has
similar examples)
There are a few places in Australia and New Zealand that were named
after places in Europe, but aren't pronounced the same. Well, not
pronounced the same by everybody, in any case. Who's right?
