Why?

Because language changes over time, and everyone speaks English differently. That's the actual answer.

It's a town in the UK, spelled Cholmondeley but pronounced Chumlee.

It sounds Korean in the first half of the word and Hindi in the second half.

Also "Chol" reminds me of Chulgu.

Somehow that sounds more Korean than the way I thought it was pronounced.

I’ve heard Irish pronunciations are also pretty crazy. Like tiocfaidh is pronounced chucky.

Because they're niggers and too lazy and uneducated to pronounce properly.

Me English mates will drop a "Them's the Thames" when life happens and pronounce it "Them's the Tems".
