    As seen in the tongue twister “Strč prst skrz krk,” the most famous sentence without vowels. The longest one is “Blb vlk pln žbrnd zdrhl hrd z mlh Brd skrz vrch Smrk v čtvrť srn Krč” and makes even less sense.

    It’s also pronounced the same if you use a rolling R.

    Too bad Czech media (and Slovak most likely too) pronounce the i in Kirk, diminishing the comedic value.

        Yup, I’ve been to Krk (like some 20 % of Czechs) and it’s pronounced exactly the same. Usually one click of the rolling R unless one’s doing an over-the-top pronunciation (spelling over a low-quality sound connection, perhaps).
