Pronunciation your strong point? | eBay Café

Why is pronunciation so strange?For instance take the countries Albania, Lithuania, Mauritania and Romania. They all end with "ania" and that last bit is pronounced "ay-nee-ah". However, when we get to Tanzania, the prononunciation of that is "Tan-zah-nee-ah". Why? Just wondering that's all.......... No wonder people learning to speak English have a job mastering the perculiarities of the language?
