The pronunciation of “Nauru” varies depending on the region. The local English pronunciation in Nauru is /ˈn̪ʌ̯u.ɹu/ (with stress on the first syllable, like in the endonym, Naoero), or /n̪ʌ̯uˈɹu/, with final stress, possibly influenced by the popular pronunciation in Australian English. In Australia, although the more standard /ˈnaʊ.ɹu/ occurs, the name is also commonly pronounced /naʊˈɹu/, with stress on the last syllable (possibly by analogy with common Aboriginal words and names ending in -roo or -ru), which is frequently smoothed to /naːˈɹuː/ or even reduced to /nəˈɹu/ in casual speech. British and American speakers typically use either the form /ˈnaʊ.ɹu/ or the trisyllabic /nɑːˈuː.ɹuː/.
