If it was a proper Scottish word it would be either spelled “Calgary” and pronounced something like “Killshariny” or vice versa.

Like... Kioghrae?
In the past, I noticed a handful of people struggling with the an "RL" sound and would say something like "Car gar ee" or "Caru ga ree". Recently, I feel like I've noticed a pronunciation that is "Cala-gah-lee" and I don't know when I first noticed the switch from hard and soft R sounds to a soft L sound.
