[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9102480, member: 18"] Oh my god Westc'ntry would pronounce it that way lol yeah, az-im-er even maybe if the dialect was deep enough. Received Pronunciation people I've always heard Ah-sigh-mar. Now I'm trying to think of Jafaican/MLE would say it Ass-e-mar maybe. I think the guy in my main group from further North says it like "Az-sim-ar", which is more like what is probably intended. Any Scots accent is going to absolutely wreck that "Ah" sound at the beginning. Whereas everyone except the poor Germans and serious German speakers just says "Teefling" (Tea-fling) for Tiefling (aside from dear Lae'zel who says "Teeth-ling"). Which is a hell of a lot easier. At least Drow only has two possible ways of saying it (like grow or like ow). I can never remember which is official. No-one should listen to me on pronunciation anyway because I still habitually pronounce melee wrong. I just learned it wrong too hard as a child and didn't realize it was wrong until like, my very early 20s. No-one even ever corrected me! The curse of words you only know from books. One dear friend pronounced duchy "douche-y" and she wasn't even kidding, god bless her. [/QUOTE]
