Some have expressed frustration that visitors consistently struggle to pronounce the name of their beloved home correctly.
Northerners may tend to pronounce it as “Tine-Muhth”, similar to Tynemouth, the famous beach town on the Newcastle coast.
On the other hand, those in the South may advocate a pronunciation more similar to “tane-mouth” and consistent with the spelling.
However, both camps would be wrong, because the locals would have agreed on a unique pronunciation: “Tin-muth”, reports the Express.
The name Teignmouth means “mouth of the creek” and derives from its original nickname Tengemua.

The city’s scenic waterfront is complemented by lush scenery and lush greenery, offering visitors a unique blend of natural beauty.
Tourists can also take a leisurely stroll through the city’s stunning streets, which are adorned with a delightful mix of Georgian buildings and even the occasional palm tree.
