Hey, how do you pronounce Qatar? I've always thought it was "K-Tar" but recently have heard newspeople call it "Gutter."

Which is correct?

It depends on the person, I guess, but here the major pronunciations float between "CAUGHT-her" and "GOT-her". The western pronunciation of "kwa-TAR" isn't really accurate. Hope that was helpful. Many thanks.
