In danish (where Kadavre is plural, Kadaver is singular) we pronounce it: Kah-da...da...oh screw this! Danish is impossible to describe.
I understand why people say it's the hardest language ever.

Have fun learning 87 consonants, 20 vowels and 2 different tones.
How are you even supposed to pronounce it's name?

At least with Xhosa the name is fairly easy to say, and a lot of the words are fairly easy even though there's a lot of clicks to learn (and unlike !Xoo, it actually has a relevant amount of speakers).

Is there supposed to be an exclamation mark in front of it?

Its actually !Xóõ according to wikipedia.
Neither does it say how you should pronounce it. Frankly its probably impossible to get right in our letters.

I wouldn't even be suprised if most Chinese dialects are harder anyway. Some things are just utterly impossible if you're not Chinese - apparently there's some kind of character that's pronounced as "pyooarrrngj" or something and that's a single character. Whatever that xoo thing is has got nothing on Chinese .

In Xhosa, the clicks aren't marked, but I guess !Xoo is completely different in that regard, especially considering Wiki's example sentence.
