Intentionally
I intentionally included Chile as an example because it's spelled the same in Spanish and English, but pronounced differently.
If you say it's proper to pronounce it CHEELAY, then you better also say Polska.

I see a big difference between English pronunciations and foreign ones.

Better stop calling it Germany and call it Deutchland.

You're conflating pronunciation with different languages

I think as long as people in the conversation get what you mean - all good. Like a good American Ma-dell-in
