The English pronunciation of Qatar is commonly:

  • "kuh-TAR" (with the emphasis on the second syllable)

Alternatively, some pronounce it as:

  • "KAT-ar" (less common, with emphasis on the first syllable)

The more accurate pronunciation in Arabic is closer to "Gha-tar" (with a guttural "gh" sound), but in English, "kuh-TAR" is widely accepted and understood.
