Gallente = lipstick les bians or p'**fs;
Quafe = kwa-yf (long "a")
Khanid = car'nid (as in motor car and id as in lid)
Mjolinir = Moll'in'ere
yulai = you lie.

And Moses was content to dwell with the man:and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom:for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. |

I've noticed some people pronounce Khanid like car-nidd or something similar with an 'r' in there. How does Kha sound like car?? Maybe I am nit-picking here. I pronounce it like Kha (as in Ghengis Khan)-nid
In English (as a native speaker) the Kha in Khan is pronounced "car" (so Khan = carn).
English is an awkward language when it comes to pronounciation (pro'nown'ss'd: pro'nun'see'ay'shun).
For example, the letters "ough" can be pronounced at least four different ways; as follows:
rough = ruff
bough = bow (said like "cow")
through = throo'
ought = ort
It gets worse.

(e.g., in Boston, Harvard and Khan might sound the same).
Well, I don't know how you pronounce Harvard, but I pronounce the "ar" part exactly the same way I pronounce the "ar" part of car. Isn't Boston the place where people speak American in the manner most similar to English?
I am English and live in London. Our newscasters don't pronounce things the way yours do, of course.
