Most systems are easy to pronounce. But, some of them are a bit harder to say. Some people use different ways to get around the pronunciation of the system itself. For example, the first three letters of a system. But, what system have you come across that you just couldn't pronounce at all? |

There are plenty more but most of them just take a bit of figuring out. They do tend to cause some amusement during fleet roams "align to eyt... uh.. eytjang.... align to out gate".

My native language allows me to pronounce most difficult names, at least in a non-english way.
Kurniainen is one that's easy for me but seems impossible for all the brits, americans, australians etc. "Futzchag" is tricky. |

Hothomouh because it's hard to pronounce it any other way besides "hot homo" which I think is intentional. |

As a german I find most systems easy to pronounce, for example french and nordic sounding systems.
And as mentioned before most Brits and US citizens i know seem to struggle with systems like Nourvukaiken. Perhaps because of their limited exposure to foreign languages, with one exception perhaps: spanish. |

I always thought that was a 'th' as in 'thorough', making it sound like HO-fo-mooh...
Aside from that, I know exactly how I would pronounce certain of the names. Unfortunately, everyone else seems to have their own personal choices in this as well.
So is it: Djeeh-tah, Yeeh-taw, Djih-tah, Djih-tay, Yeeh-taa, or some pronunciation I've missed? |

My US alliance buddys pronunce it "Djih-tah", as one would expect it from their standpoint. I myself would tend to a variation like "Djeeh-tah", as it is more fitting with the asian/japanese semblance of system names around it. And "Yeeh-taa" I find is common with german speaking germans. I prefer my variation, obviously. |

Fun fact: Llanfairpwllgwyn used to be called just that. It means 'church by the white pool' or summin'. The whole 'gyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch' part was added in the 19th century to make the train station a tourist attraction for Victorian holidaymakers. |

Yeah, I remember having to learn to say this place in welsh lessons in school. You know it's bad when a word has four of the same letter in a row. |

These systems are not only hard to pronounce but also hard to remember. Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling. |
