Different localities have different pronunciation of words, usually only slight. But, some forms of some words are very different between regions.
There is no one way that can be termed 'correct'.
The pronunciation of the word given in one region is correct, but for that region only.
You will occasionally hear some Maori pronounce the word with a D instead of an R. To them, that is correct.
