These screencaps were posted by GM Leigh (of Mage Productions) on Twitter after being showed on WotC's Twitch stream, presented by Kate Welch and Nathan Stewart. Note the old Saltmarsh trilogy references!
We renamed sahuagin "unpronounceable shark people".
It used to be "sa-HWA-gin" which I much prefer myself.Official pronunciation per D&D Beyond is "sa-HU-a-gin" (with a hard g). It was a bit odd hearing Matt Mercer say it though.
Yep. Not sure why they changed it. All the old pronunciation guides had sa-HWA-gin, as did the voice-overs in Dungeons & Dragons Online, which is where I learned how to pronounce it.It used to be "sa-HWA-gin" which I much prefer myself.

So, Chris Perkins walked to Bart Carroll's home office to record the Lore You Should Know segment all about the 'Sea Devils."
Went over the U series modules, the ecological and sociological structure, where you might find them, etc. Discussed mutations, and some examples based on the MM entry. Talked about novels the Sahuagin appeared in, how to use them as a DM. Nothing too revelatory.
Where are you seeing this? I'm not finding it on YouTube or among the twitch videos from today.
the perspective of having two entire hardcover official wotc books focused on boats, oars and seasickness and zero for, let say, Eberron is totally nonsense for me.
I can't really believe the market needs hundreds of pages about those topics, especially hundreds of pages batched in two volumes in a row. but given the enthusiastically feedback which airs, for example, here, I m most probably wrong.
