Here's my Ynaura pronunciation confession... in-OR-ah.

Ever since Skye... until this very day. I haz now bin skooled.

Er. Hmm. A few of my 'more actives' (or at least more recents)

va-LAIR-uh-tee = Valerity
ee-VEH-shka = Eveshka
PAX-sehn = Paxen

Excellent thread! Enjoying it.

Skye et al

This has to be revived I think...

Elke = El-kuh!

Amaera = 'Am-air-ah'

Delina = 'deh-leen-a'

/resuscitates thread/

Mine are easy, but I'm curious about others' names:

Jerrel: JEH-rel or Jurrl if you're from Maryland
Derayn: Da-RAIN

Think only one or two of these is even a little difficult to get right, but...

Areia - ah-RAY-yuh (almost like two Y's where the I is)
Dolifer - DOH-lih-fer (Latin for "Painbearer," in case any Latin geeks out there were wondering!)
Lira -- LEER-uh
Zerrin - ZEHR-in

And one I'll eventually get around to playing a bit...

Norachtzu - nor-ACHT-soo (rolled R, and the CH is like one of those icky-sounding hard German CH sounds.)

Terageld · Post by **Terageld** » Sun Sep 13, 2015 1:25 pm

Most helpful thread ever, right here. I've been pronouncing everyone's name wrong.

Terageld- tare-Ah-geld
Raihan- rai-Hahn da Rip-uh
Tast- pronounced like "fast"

Mers = Mierse = Mee - ers... just say Mers in the cheesiest most fake german accent you can manage
Thought i'd add some voices:
xand =plain old eZand + Xand's voice = the voice repeated in these clips minus weird accents. Sounds most like the very first clip.

Also. Do yourself a favour and say Gwain with a really thich welsh accent. Its a treat.

I will supplicate each of your explanations for whatever I've already had in my head (I'm kidding.) This really was helpful, thanks for revival!

Lylena = Lie lay na (nuh? I should be good at typing things how they sound. We should find some sort of sound clip program and just upload short clips.../lazy)

Though I've heard various forms verbalized, mostly people starting with Lil for Lily, this is how I've always said it in my head in broken down, not accurate ways of explaining how it sounds.

That said, KEEP THE LILY STUFF COMIN'!

Cahir Kerrigan's name is all one big joke. It's Care Care-again.

Beskytter · Post by **Beskytter** » Tue Sep 15, 2015 7:50 am

It's been great to read all of these, now it's my turn to help out with one:

Beskytter -- Bess-shei-ttair (Literally means Protector/Guardian in Norwegian, though it's a noun and not a name.

) My favorite substitute for this is Cahir's "Biscuit Eater".

Also,

Eyolf -- Ayy'ulf (meaning Young Wolf, this one is an actual Norge name.)

Parsley · Post by **Parsley** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 9:03 am

Parsley ->

(like your garnish of choice)

Zebas -> ZEH - BAS (From the greek σεβα)

Parcel, Parsley, Par snip... Parley?

Parley?! D*mn to the depths whatever man thought up "parley"

That would be the French.

Ok, with that being said:

Aysa -- "AI-sa"
Vierva -- "VEE-er-va"
Talaedra -- "Ta-LAY-drah"

Different races, so why not different dialects?
