"ROUTE" has troubled/troubling us (people from India) too for a long time. Our English is influenced by both UK & US and we always had this trouble, rather our list of mixed pronunciation is quite long. On top of that we have our own languages too with very specific pronunciation of some sounds.
In my local team, I have representation of multiple states of India, speaking five different languages. I do not understand 4 of them. You can imagine, how lucky I am that I get to hear same words with 4 different tone. By the way, India has 22 officially recognized languages (English is not part of these 22) and 1500+ dialects.
