Brief description of the issue:
TTS mispronounces Nadi, Fiji. While it looks like it should be pronounced “Nadi”, it is really pronounced like “Nohndi”.
Here is a Fiji guide telling you how to pronounce Nadi:“a” is “ah” as in father, but shorter. The correct pronunciation of Nadi, is closer to “Nahn-di” than “Nan-di”.
Here is a video with the pronunciation.
One way to fix this is to modify the applicable .locPak files as follows (do not write “Nahndi”: I’ve already tried it and the TTS sounds very nasal):
