Pronounced /ˈslaʊ/, which corresponds to russian "Слау".
Wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slough links to russian
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%83.
That translation was added in 30451655 and deleted in 30706979.
Automatically translated province in Russian is called Слоф, not Слау:
https://ru.wargaming.net/globalmap/#province/slough
- and we have no way to correct that, if we don't add name:ru for it
to OSM.
There might be a case for adding pronunciations (of 'difficult' names at
least) to the OSM database. Someone must have proposed a tagging scheme
for this, surely?
