The teeny, tiny font, combined with the strange combination of consonants and vowels, conspired to force me to give up trying to pronounce them and just make up words that approximate what they are. I found this thread interesting enough, however, to take the effort to look more closely at what some of these are and write them down:
It's spelled = I say
Bouryenes = Bogainville
Trossere = Trousers
Vittenyn = Vixenville
Ethernity = Eternity (That one isn't hard, but....)
Brapevilles = Grapeville
There are some more, I say Dumbledore, Frapville, Somerset, Chandelier, etc. etc. etc.
These place names are probably just a bunch of Icelandic words for stuff like: "Trossere" = pencil sharpener in Icelandic. The rest of the world couldn't even know. Right?
I just had a thought! Perhaps the strange Icelandic spellings and pronounciations come from the fact that it's really, really cold up there. So, their teeth are always chattering while they talk, so their words all come out all.... Eyjafjallaj+¦kull It's just a theory.... Watch this space.-á New exciting signature in development. |

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.
Fun fact: Wikipedia is always right and ogogo definitely is how you spell cave.

Cool I'm first language Welsh, although have hardly spoke any since I moved to the diff.
Do you know Garmon IRL? I only ask because I think I accidentally stalked him IRL driving back from the north the other day! |

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 like how you've lumped in the British with what appears to be your prejudice against hispanics Save the Domi model! Spacewhales should be preserved. |

FD-MLJ is rather difficult to pronounce.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

Also, Jita seems to be difficult, since i heard it being pronounced in a LOT of different ways. Geta Jeeta Jihta Djita If a man speaks his mind in the forest and no woman hears him, is he still wrong? |

My first SCA persona was Welsh; I signed in at gate and the following exchange ocurred:
'I..can't remember how to spell my persona's name'.
'You can't spell Padraig?'
'No, my last name, it's twelve letters long!' |

I thought the "Brits and US citizens I know" made clear, whom I was referring to. Also I meant US citizens know, or at least come in contact with, be it in school or the nieighbourhood, spanish. No mention of spaniards/hispanics. |
