Burkina Faso is a landlocked West African country. In speech, the name is typically rendered as two close, unstressed proper nouns: /bɚˈkiː.nə ˈfæ.soʊ/ in US or /bɜːˈkiː.nə ˈfɒ.səʊ/ in UK, with emphasis on the second syllable of Burkina and the first of Faso. It’s important to maintain voiceless fricatives and clear syllabic breaks between the two words for native-sounding pronunciation.
