Gila - Gee la (hard G)
...
Gila is definitely pronounced "hee-la" like the hee-la monster (I'm an Arizona native, and anyone who calls it a geela monster gets ridiculed.) or Hee-la (Gila) Bend (I live near there) and the hee-la (Gila) River (anyone who's ever seen those annoying as all hell Gila River Casino commercials now has that song stuck in their head. You're welcome).
I too am an Arizona native and I curse you and that god damned song. ---------- This post brought to you by the worst PVP'er in Eve |

There's no "r" in Bhaalgorn.
Pretty sure there's an "r" after the "o" and before the "n"
Originally by: SpaceSquirrels This is indeed correct. "Rokh - roak / roke (as in toke, spoke)"
"roak" sounds terrible though, rock has nicer connotations __________________

You're saying rock sounds cooler than a giant mythical eagle (as large as clouds in some stories) that could kill and carry prey as large as elephants. And was also used to fly people around?..... Guess that's a matter of opinion. _________________________

was a mythological bird, In the story of Sinbad..... think the Greeks borrowed it too. Not pronounced rock. Also spelled Roc, and Rogh, and ruhk.
NERD FIGHT!!!!!
Oxford English Dictionary says "rock" (or, well… |rɒk|, which is also the pronounciation of "rock"). ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

You assume everyone is English, that we pronounce "jaguar" like you do, that we randomly leave off "r"s at the end of words and randomly add "r"s that aren't there.
Example: Rhea: Rey-uh. There is no "r" at the end.
I've never understood why English people don't pronounce "r"s at the end of words, but add an "r" sound at the end of words where there is no "r".
Also, you're not the final decider of the correct pronunciation of anything unless you're CCP.
In short, this thread is a waste of time and space.

LOL Touche I hate the first song, but love the AC/DC Makes me think that the Rohk...I'm pronouncing it roak (suck it other people!!) would be some interstellar space rocking party bus. Where in it would dock with stations and strobe lights would appear with smoking coming from the inside. The doors would open and a bunch of strippers would then fallout. Followed by bleary eyed rockers with space booze in their hands. Who ever did the hello kitty Kestrel needs to make the "party Rohk". _________________________

Edited by: Kessiaan on 13/05/2009 19:26:22 This post has inspired me to go back to pronouncing Caracel with a soft C.
Quote: I've never understood why English people don't pronounce "r"s at the end of words, but add an "r" sound at the end of words where there is no "r".
Received Pronunciation (or some derivation thereof), which is used most places in Europe, is non-rhotic. Most places in North America speak with a rhotic dialect. This the core of what makes English English sound English and North American English sound American.
Out here in the midwest, a lot of people (mostly older folks) randomly insert "R" sounds into "sh" sounds (thus, wash becomes 'warsh', etc). I hate it because it makes them sound like country hillbillies, even though most of them are, in fact, country hillbillies so you can hardly hold that against them.

No, more like 'Karasel', like the thing that goes roundy roundy.

Ah, gotcha. Whenever in Vent I always get asked to say certain words; car, dagger, park, whatever, or anything else with "R" in it. I do, however, get a chuckle when talking to British people. They bring the funny.

Originally by: Farrellus Cameron I hate to break it to you, but the British Empire is dead. You don't get to tell the rest of the world how to talk anymore.
So you can go back to drinking yourselves into oblivion on that cold rock you call home, and enjoying the company of semi-attractive women with bad teeth.
We'll let you know if your country becomes relevant again.
Hey, shut your mouth, you don't know what you're talking about.

So many "wrong" pronunciations in this thread it is mind-boggling.
Take Kitsune for example. There is only ONE Kitsune in any greek/roman-based language and it is a japanese word (in romanji). It is pronounced Ki-tsu-nay (or kit-su-nay if you want that too. sounds the same in the end). The whole excuse that "well this is eve so I'm sure it sounds the way I THINK it does in that alternate universe" is simple-minded and narrow.
Now that my emo-grammar rage is spent, lets get down to the real deal:
The fact is, many different nationalities who pronounce words differently play this game (that is what accents are). Simply putting up a list of all the names and how YOU pronounce them, then declaring that everyone who doesn't say them your way is "WRONG", is arrogant and the only wrong thing here.
TL;DR pronounce them how you want to. Chances are likely that the people you are talking to will understand what you are saying even if you don't pronounce it the way they do.

"Cerberus" is originally classical Greek.
The word starts with a damn Kappa, which is what we get the letter K from in Romance languages. The letter C doesn't even exist in the classical Greek alphabet. If the word was meant to start with a soft C sound, it would have been originally written with a sigma.
Some of the other pronunciations are questionable, but Cerberus is technically a hard C, even if it has become corrupted.

Being British, we get a lot of American TV programmes so are used to hearing American pronunciations, but the one that I really grates above all others is jag-waar. It sounds like you have a mouthful of dough when saying it.

Well, tbh, the entire Latin language got corrupted during the ME, which is how we arrived at the "s"-pronounciation that's common today. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |
