I separate the syllables. Ka… ma…. La…. Is it correct? I have no idea.

They’re up in arms because most Americans put the emphasis on the 2nd syllable, ka-MA-la, when the ‘correct’ pronunciation is with the emphasis on the first syllable, eg ‘KA-ma-la.

It’s very strange because she’s pronounced her own name both ways, and also the first one is just how an English speaking person would pronounce it. It’s like they think we should know Sanskrit names. 🙄 Another manufactured issue with language.
