Pronunciations

[Epical]

Oh God last time we had this thread it was a riot. On stuff discussed so far:

Mea: Teleport May-ahh
Xzomit: Zomit
Uggalepih: Temple of Oo-gah-lepp-ehh
Qufim: Koo-fim
Pso'Xja: So-ja

[tonystigma]

Temple of Jigglypuff

[Sabishii]

I really hate when people pronounce X's in words as "ecks" or "eggs".

The American subpar education system at work people. Most people don't know enough about English to realize X is pronounced like Z (well sometimes anyway). Though I didn't know about X being like "sh" though.

And Pso'Xja, the P is silent, like how the P is silent in the word "psychic."

[Fogo]

Sorry I meant x = sh universally, not specifically to english. I think in english it is more commonly a z sound.

[sleekmotorwurkz]

Not really a pronunciation, but I always thought it was funny that we have all adopted the new aht urgan nm system as ZNM (zeni notorious monsters) when we all know from our little goblin-pandemonium warden fiasco, that SE intended this nm system to be named ATNM (ex ATNM Test as the goblin was named)

[SamanosukeShiva]

EX ZOMIT!

[Rikura]

Ex zomit
Temple of oo-ga-lep-i

My old ls once got in a discussion over whether to pronounce Jeuno "Juno" (as in the Ellen Page teen preggers flick) or "Huen-o" (Spanish Jue sound).

We never reached an agreement and eventually just settled on renaming it Beardick.

But then would you pronounce that Bear-dick, or Beard-ick?

I think it's funny how the actual pronounciation of Bastok is "Bastook". Completely threw me off when I heard that out loud.

[Fogo]

I hope by bastook you actually mean bas - toke.

[tonystigma]

I hope by bastook you actually mean bas - toke.

Nope. It's in the intro video.

EDIT: That said I still pronounce Ba - stock.

[Alistaire]

I hope by bastook you actually mean bas - toke.

I mean that in the intro to the game the last syllable is spoken in a way that rhymes with duke.

Edit: So it's Bas-touque.

[Antithesis]

So - Ja

Al - Tay - Oo

Zom - It

Alld - Nar - Shay

The Finnish voice tends to read Japanese pretty well.

[drwaffles]

Seh-ree-yoo

Tav-natz-ee-a (some people pronounce Tav-nayz-ee-a?)


This is kinda fun, actually.

[Dathus]

Aspir: Ass-per or Aspire?

[Keria]

When I said So-Jah for Pso'Xja I mean a soft French J like "jsha" ;x

Gjallarhorn= G'yalləhorn. (Schwa!)

Aegishjalmr = assjammer or asshat for short. Fuck pronouncing that.

Misareaux = Miisarrrrrro.



Leviathan = LEE VIE AY A THUN. jk

Uh, if anything, the fact that you believe X can only be pronounced like Z is a better demonstration of disappointing education. Although the circumstances resulting in the K pronunciation are usually quite specific for the English language, it can be said that way in our tongue, and in other languages too.
