So if you say it slower as bur-uh(gh) it makes way more sense as to how it's pronounced that way. Saying "bur" fast enough turns into a "brr" sound, and "gh" is typically pronounced as a soft "uh"

However, there's an Edinburg, Texas, pronounced ED-inn-burg.

Because the English and Scots just make shit up. For example, why do they pronounce "schedule" as "shed-u-all", but call a school, "skool". Is the "Sch" part of these words somehow different?

I don't know any English or Scottish people that pronounce schedule with a soft Sch sound.

That's the standard pronunciation in the UK. Hang around a train station and you'll hear it in the announcements constantly. People who consume a lot of American media or work with Americans might say it the American way.

I've lived in England my whole life and never heard anyone pronounce it with the soft sch sound irl.
