It's Portuguese so:

Carnauba (/kɑːrˈnɔːbə/ or /kɑːrˈnaʊbə/, carnaúba, Portuguese pronunciation: [kaʁnɐˈubɐ])

That should clear things up

It is a strange word

Ambulance

Learn the right word in portuguese, homeland of Carnaúba.

(someone already tried to give a clue at an earlier post), here's my attempt:

Word to Pronounce: CARNAÚBA

Correct Pronunciation: CAR-NAH-Ú-BAH

or

CAR-NAH-ÚBER

Say car like you always say it (a CAR). NAH, AHHH..., it's an open A, but it's not 'ei', it's AAAAHHH

The UBER at the end you have to put accent on U (Ú) in portuguese (something like 'UHHH', got hit in the stomach!), and not pronounce the R at the end, at all, like a 'german UBAH!'

So that's it, CAR-NA-Ú-BA is also the right syllabic formation of the word.

Great thread!, very funny from start!
