Listen to the pronunciation of Lethwei and learn how to pronounce Lethwei correctly.
Comment from a native Burmese speaker: not sure why the English spelling is the way it is and contributes to a very incorrect pronounciation. To an English speaker, pronounciation would be very closest to saying "let-wave" except that "t" ending in "let" and "ve" ending in "wave" are not vocalized. Hope this helps those who want to correctly pronounce the sport the way it is done in Myanmar. If one pronounces the way lethwei is typically pronounced with "th" sound in the middle, no native Burmese speaker would realize you are talking about Burmese style of boxing. By the way, in Burmese, "let" in means hand and "wave" means wave or swing.
In Burmese language the "t" is silent in Lethwei. It is pronounced "Lay-way".
