Dragon Compendium Volume 1 has a pronunciation guide in the back. I'm sure Paizo will ... oh, wait.

Does it really matter?

In fact, in a 'realistic' fantasy realm, there would almost certainly be competing pronunciations. Like E.N. World and Nworld.

I kow that :
Yuan-ti is pronounced "YOO-on TEE" (from Aug previews)
Drow rhymes with cow, not row (don't remember where I saw it but I'm 100% sure
And I think Tiefling is "Teef-ling"

 

[Remathilis]

And I think Tiefling is "Teef-ling"

I thought it was pronounce TIE-F-LING as in Teufel (Pr: TIE-FUL), the German word for "The Devil".

I thought it was pronounce TIE-F-LING as in Teufel (Pr: TIE-FUL), the German word for "The Devil".

But, that's the incorrect German pronunciation. In German, it's "toy-ful." Both eu and äu are pronouned "oi" as in "toy" without the "t."
