How do you pronounce some in-game words like "Pso'Xja" or "Xzomit?"
How do you pronounce some in-game words like "Pso'Xja" or "Xzomit?"
I pronounce "Pso'Xja" as Piso Exja... I guess, but I say it so you don't really hear the I so it stays Pso pretty much.
Xzomit = Eggsomit? lol
Pso'Xja = So'Juh for me lolz
Since Xzomit doesn't have an apostrophe in it (as Pso'Xja does), I'd assume it's meant to be pronounced as two syllables, perhaps "som-it." Without knowing the language it was based off of, though, we'll never know if it's a S sound, or a Z sound. Or perhaps it's neither, and is a K sound, which could result in something like "keh-so-mitt" (pronounced quickly, it's one of the better-sounding possibilities).
As for Pso'Xja, the apostrophe implies a hard stop, so I'd gather that's something like "so-scha." Unless they wanted to get really crazy and give the J a Y sound, making something like "zo-shi-ya."
All the sea stuff is very Aztec. Personally I say "Pso-Ja" with a very soft J, like in the word Beige. Xzomit, I say, "Zomit".
Pso-ja for me too, and Gu-zomit cause its softer than Kso-mit.
So-Jah, Zomit ;/
So-jah
ex-zomit
And how about Temple of Uggalepih?
I normally say/type "temple of uggugugugug" or "that tonberry infested shit of a place" ...
For some reason i've always pronounced "Temple of Uggalepih" as
Temple of Uhguh lay Pea H. Something to do when i wanted to learn how to spell it without screwing it up so i could /sea Uggalepih instead of /sea "Temple of Uggalepih" i tend to laugh about it because everytime i see Uggalepih i really say that. As for pronouncing something like "Xolotl" i just say "ZOLT!" in a screaming manner as if he's some high and mighty being!

Looking at some Katakana usually helps to understand how SE wants us to spell things.
Katakana for Pso'xja: ソ・ジヤ - So Jiya
Katakana for Xzomit: ゾミト - Zomit
Katakana and Kanji for Uggalepih: ウガレピ寺院 Ugalepi Temple
qui fum?
or kee fim?
クフィム島 - Kufim Island
Arrapago is one of me that I hear on Vent and think others are pronouncing funny.
I say, "AR-ah-PAH-go", with slightly more emphasis on the first syllable, and I've heard "ar-AH-pah-go".
Also,

And I had to look up Xolotl for clarification. "sho-LOT'l"
