Pronounciation Guide: ISRP Explores the Names of Characters!

[Tiagan]

Allrighty meh dahlings, I'm only playing with my own character names... for now! :smirk: ...and only the characters that I use the most! Mua-heh.

Tiagan: Tea-YAH-gan ((Invisible letter "y" in that. ))

Khazor: Kah-zore ((even though I always say "kay-zoar"))

Shontan: Shawn-tan. ((pretty easy.))

Xennic: ZEN-nick ((have to love that letter.))

 

[Tsuko]

*Feels very happy in that she pronounced Bhryn's name correctly the whole way through.*

Before I do any of the Japanese names, there is no stressed syllables in Japanese, therefore none the the syllibles in the Japanese names will be shown to be stressed.

Tsuko: T - su - co, yeah, that was hard. . .

Misao AKA The Weasel Girl: Me- sow (like the pig) Wee-SAL Gurl

Koji: Co- jze

Kaneda: Caw- neigh- da (like the Russian Yes)

Ann Aster: Ann AS-ter

Mayumi: Ma (Like in English) - yumi

Nuriko: Hmm, yea, a hard one of mine. . . Nuh-ri-co

D'Shan: Duh - SHAWN

Lheryl: Erm, I forgot how it was pronouced, *pouts til Niccy helps her out again. . .*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm, some other peeps names, well let's see,

Sivex: See- vex

Reesa: I always liked REE - see (Reesy. . .), Ree - SAH and a few others. . .

Malicki: Never gave it much thought but I did it like this: Mal - li (like it LIt) - KEY

 

[CeresUrsidae]

hrm...as a warning, I suck at pronunciation of the english language...there, I've covered myself.


Ceres Ursidae: SER-rees UR-si-day (Honestly don't know if that's right, but it's how I say it. It's Latin so if anyone out there knows....)

Boodles: BOO-doles

Guan-Thwei: GWAN TH-way

[Kathryn_aka_Kat]

Re'shak Del'anier = Reh-SHAK Del-AY-nee-er
Zentash Syn'alar = ZEN-tash SIN-a-lar
Carthamus = CAR-tha-mus
Talon (too easy) = TAH-lon, but it could be TAY-lon
Gellaenen = Gel-LAY-nen, with a hard-G as in "go", not a J-sound

- Kat (= Kat)

Yes, we have depleted in numbers. :nonono:

 

[Traveler]

Acaed!...Now look what you have gone and done!...All these people!...Having fun!

*shakes head and then laughs*

Allright sorry, I don't know what put me in such a silly mood...reading these posts perhaps?

Ok lets see...I am not sure many of you actaully kow many of my chars I do not show up often...but:

Taelin = Tey lin

Dahreen Illurienne = Dahreen (first name is spelled exactly how it sounds) ill - oor - ee- en

Ariya Mas'Kithe = Ah- ri - yah Mahs- Ki- th - e


and of course,

Alighan Damon = Alley - gan Day -mon (common tongue pronounciation )



Ok...so other names...

Let me just say, that I always pronounced Acaed's name correctly.


Jeajea = Jay - jeya (but I KNEW it was supposed to be JJ 'cause I asked!)

Davon = Dav - on (as opposed to off)

Dearah = Deer - ah

Tito = Tee- toh

Malicki = Mah - lee - kee

and...I shall take Wraith's challenge


Re'shak Del' anier = Reh shahk deh lahn ee ay

Zentash Syn'alar = Zen tahsh sin alahr (though I will admit the first dozen times I saw it it registered as Sy ya na lahr...go figure)

Carthamus = car - tha - muss

Talon = Talon (indeed it is)

Gellaenen = Gel ay nen (...hey wait! YOU'RE Gellaenen! )

-Me

 

[Kathryn_aka_Kat]

No, he's Re'shak. Or both?

 

[Tharivious_Meliamne]

Here are a few more of mine.

Jaehral Ojaresk
JAY-rahl OH-ja-resk ( Tricky one, right? ).

Some of my less used characters ( And yes, many of my characters are unusual. A few are even original races that I created ) :

Nogard Cinaclov
NO-gard Sin-ACK-lohv.

Sadak'rual
Say-DACK'RU-ahl.

Grineck Cut-tooth
Grin-ECK CUT-tooth ( Real tough, isn't it? ).

-----------------------------------------------------
As for shadow of death's challenge: Here are my guesses.
Re'shak Del'anier = Reh-SHACK Del-ahn-EE-ay
Zentash Syn'alar = ZEN-tash SIN(as in 'sign')-al-ar
Carthamus = CAR-tham-us
Talon (too easy) =
Gellaenen + GEL-een-en
