Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2009.05.13 14:53:00 - [31] Originally by: Malvaceae Veri Great, now we only need everyone to get to know those notations and how to pronounce them, as, well, there are a lot of languages that simply lack the sounds to pronounce these names. ****ese, for example. that's gonna be tought ----------------------------------------- Originally by:** Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
THE L0CK	Posted - 2009.05.13 14:56:00 - [32] Originally by: Waiting4ambulation Edited by: Waiting4ambulation on 13/05/2009 14:53:29 Originally by: THE L0CK Ok, we have a CHIIIIIIM-EEEEERRR-AA....nevermind its gone. Ok we have a NIIIIDDD-HOO....oops, its gone. It takes you over fifteen seconds to say "Chimera"? Nah it takes you over 20 seconds to understand it because of my pronouncicalifornicatshian
Ratchman	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:01:00 - [33] Myrmidon is pronounced murm-ee-don Sleipnir is pronounced sleep-neer (as in pier) Rokh is pronounced rok (silent h, although I suspect this may vary according to dialect) Abaddon is pronounced A-bad-don Charon is pronounced Karr-on Cerberus is pronounced Sur-burr-uss Oneiros is pronounced O-neer-oss (the neir is pronounced like 'near') Rhea is pronounced Ree-ah Some of these words are open to local dialect, such as Jaguar (to me, it's Jag-yew-arr), but as long as we roughly understand what is being said, it's not worth getting too hung up on it. All I'm concerned about is people get the Ch- (K) sounds right, and don't pronounce silent c's like in scythe (although anyone familiar with the British comedy "Bottom" will not be able to avoid pronouncing it sither, as one of the characters does).

Malvaceae Veri	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:05:00 - [35] In my defence, I speak hungarian, and as far asI know, we have a very, very wide range of sounds. I'm still having troubles with some swedish words, though. I always want to say them in german (OHG preferably).
Trebor Notlimah Lone Star EVE Group Veni Vidi Vici	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:08:00 - [36] Like DEATHFUNK's Cloud Ring Campaign -- this thread phails. Terribly.
Nyphur Pillowsoft Total Comfort	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:14:00 - [37] Did you research this are are these just the ways you personally pronounce those ship names? Some of them I agree with but the ones I disagree with, I've done a little research to try and dig up pronunciations. Feel free to correct me where I'm wrong. Originally by: Ralara Jaguar - jag you ah (not jag waar) This may be how you pronounce it with your accent, but there's definitely an r on the end of that word. It's pronounced "jag you ar". And the pronunciation "jag waar" is generally acceptable as an american pronunciation. reference Originally by: Ralara Myrmidon - mier* ma don (mier as in pier) I'm pretty sure that's not how "myr" is pronounced at the start of a word. The ship is pronounced "Mer mid on". reference Originally by: Ralara Abaddon - ur bad'n (not abba don) I have no idea where you're getting the "ur" sound at the start. It's just a simple "A bad on". reference Originally by: Ralara Rokh - roak / roke (as in toke, spoke) This one I have no reference for but I have absolutely no idea where you're getting "roak" from. General pronunciation rules would have this as "Rock" and I've never heard it pronounced another way. Ever. Originally by: Ralara Bhaalgorn - Barl gorn There's no "r" in Bhaalgorn. It should be pronounced "Baal gorn". The only dispute I can see is the pronunciation of the "Baal" portion. Some would say "Bahl" while others would say it like "bay 'l". This seems to vary based on country. Originally by: Ralara Machariel - Mack arr ee al Again, I believe that's your accent at the end. "Mack arr ee el" is probably more appropriate. Originally by: Ralara Chimera - Ky* meer ah (* as in eye, hard C, silent H) There's some argument over the pronunciation of Chimera. Some would say "k'eye meer ah", some say "chim er ah", some say "chim ear ah", some say "kim ear ah" etc. reference Originally by: Ralara Nidhoggur - Nid Hog ger (hard second G) Considering this is an english interpretetation of an icelandic word, using standard english pronunciation rules instead might be a good idea. Using the icelandic pronunciation may be better, but I'm not familiar with it. Using english pronunciation rules, second G isn't pronounced as double-g's in english are pronounced as a single G. That makes it "Nid hog ur" as far as I'm concerned, though I'm sure someone icelandic could pop into the thread and school us on the proper pronunciation of "Nf=h÷ggur". Originally by: Ralara Huginn - Hew gin (hard G. Hew as in Jew) Even if this one's correct I still love saying "hug in" :). Originally by: Ralara Astarte - Ass start ay "Ass tart ay" or possibly "Ass tart ee", the extra s is unnecessary. reference Originally by: Ralara Sleipnir - Slep nier (nier as in pier) I've always pronounced this "Sleep nier", but the reference suggests it's "Slay'p nier". reference Originally by: Ralara Ashimmu - ash ee moo Again, I think that's an accent issue. Under standard rules it would more likely be pronounced "Ash ee mew" or "Ash ih mew". Originally by: Ralara Cynabal - Sine ah bal (bal, not ball, almost like "bull") Unlikely. Sine is pronounced like wine, making this most likely to be correctly pronounced "Sin ah bal". Originally by: Ralara Exequror - ex-ek curer I've always pronounced it "ex ek uh roar" but I can't find a reliable reference for this one. Continued...

Noa Fuyu Amarr Black Eclipse Corp KenZoku	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:15:00 - [38] Originally by: Roemy Schneider Edited by: Roemy Schneider on 13/05/2009 14:11:24 Quote: Kitsune - Kit soon i always thoguht half of caldari stuff has some sort of origin in japanese. kitsune ( 狐 )would translate into fox and i'd pronounce it kee-tsoo-neh and "stress" the first and third syllable -.- This. NEH! -------------------------- I would throw a hundred ships into the void just to see you crushed.
Nyphur Pillowsoft Total Comfort	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:15:00 - [39] ...continued. Originally by: Ralara Naglfar - The closest most people can pronounce it correct is Nag-gul-far (both Gs are hard) Again, another nordic word that a native speaker may come in and correct me on but under english pronunciation, there's no need to double-pronounce a single g. It would probably be "Nag 'l far" or "Nag-uhl-far" (pronounced the same). Originally by: Ralara Kitsune - Kit soon Again, I think that's your accent. It's natively pronounced "kit soon ay" in Japan, which I believe is where the word originates from. reference Originally by: Ralara Charon - Keiron (as in the name, witht he "on" bit pronounced with emphasis). Keer-on. You're right about the hard C but all the references I kind don't pronounce this the same was as Kieron. They say it's "ka ron". Personally, I'll probably always pronounce it "char on" out of habit even though I know it's wrong. reference Originally by: Ralara Cerberus - kebber us (I've never heard anyone pronounce that correctly, even me) Not sure where the hard K is coming from, this is almost always pronounced "ser ber us". reference Originally by: Ralara Deimos - Daymos (although dye-mos is also used) There are two ways to pronounce this that I've found, and "day mos" is neither of them. There's "dee mos" and "die mos". reference Originally by: Ralara Iteron - It ur-on I'm not going to put a firm answer on this one because I can't find any full or partial references but I think that's your accent creeping in again. Standard english pronunciation would have this as "eye ter on" or "it er on" (as used in "iterate"/"iteration"). I lean toward "it er on" being the correct way but I've always pronounced the ship "eye ter on" for some reason. Originally by: Ralara Rhea - Rear There's no r in it, I don't know where you're getting that but it may just be your accent. It's pronounced "ree ah". reference Originally by: Ralara Oneiros - the closest I can type it as, is it sounds similar to "buena" but without the B. I've always pronounced this "oh near os" but the cloest reference I could find was "Oneirocritic", which suggests that it's actually "oh nye ros". reference Not sure if all of those are correct and I'd be interested in any rebuttals but at least find a reference or two.

Anderson Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:17:00 - [40] Gila is definitely pronounced "heel-uh" like the heel-uh monster (I'm an Arizona native, and anyone who calls it a geela monster gets ridiculed.) or Heel-uh (Gila) Bend (I live near there) and the heel-uh (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).

Connen Gallente 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:17:00 - [41] No wonder my prof's can never return essays on time - they are too busy correcting each other on internet space ship forums /sigh
Xianbei	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:18:00 - [42] Corrected because a number of yours are wrong: Jaguar - jag waar (north american pronunciation) Harbinger - Har bin jur Myrmidon - mir mih don (mir as in word) Abaddon - uh bad un Rokh - roak / roke (as in toke, spoke) Bhaalgorn - baal gorn (balle OR ball) Machariel - mack uh ryal Maelstrom - mael strom Archon - Arr kon Chimera - Ky* meer ah (* as in eye, hard C, silent H) Nidhoggur - Nid Hog ger (hard second G) Huginn - Hew gin (hard G) Astarte - Ass start ay Sleipnir - Slep nier (nier as in pier) Ashimmu - ash ee moo Cynabal - Sine ah bal (bal, not ball, almost like "bull") Gila - Gee la (hard G) Exequror - ex-ek curer Scythe (siith - elongated i, as in eye, sky, fly etc. IT'S NOT SKITH-EE!! Evil or Very Mad The C is silent) Naglfar - The closest most people can pronounce it correct is Nag-gul-far (both Gs are hard) Kitsune - Kit soon Arazu - Arra zoo Charon - Keiron (as in the name, witht he "on" bit pronounced with emphasis). Keer-on. Fenrir - Fen rear Succubus - suck you bus Zealot - Zel ot Cerberus - kebber us (I've never heard anyone pronounce that correctly, even me) Deimos - DEE mos Muninn - Mew-nin Iteron - It ur-on Rhea - ree ah Oneiros - o neer os Scimitar - sim eh tar

Thuranni Grab Bag Heavy Industries	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:24:00 - [44] Edited by: Thuranni on 13/05/2009 15:25:14 Originally by: Ralara The following is how you pronounce the ships' names in Eve. If you're doing it another way, you're doing it wrong. Nidhoggur - Nid Hog ger (hard second G) Huginn - Hew gin (hard G. Hew as in Jew) Sleipnir - Slep nier (nier as in pier) Naglfar - The closest most people can pronounce it correct is Nag-gul-far (both Gs are Fenrir - Fen rear Muninn - Mew-nin (Mew as in Jew) Seeing as how these are all Icelandic words or names, you are absolutely wrong on all of them. Proper pronounciation of these names (EVE files link).
Breaky Fitch	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:28:00 - [45] It is really cute how the OP has decided that everyone needs to add extraneous 'r' sounds to words in places where there are no r's. The british accents which add the extra r sounds are so quaint.
TimMc Gallente Brutal Deliverance Blackguard Coalition	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:30:00 - [46] Hm didn't realised how to say Bhaalgorn or Charon.
Malvaceae Veri	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:30:00 - [47] Talked to greek philologist friend. Cerberus is Kerberos/us in greek, and Kerberus in old latin, and Cerberus in medieval/modern latin.
SpaceSquirrels Caldari	Posted - 2009.05.13 15:33:00 - [48] This is indeed correct. "Rokh - roak / roke (as in toke, spoke)" 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!!!!! _________________________ I disagree...

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. ----------------------------------------------------
