How do you pronounce the names?

[Ekolite]

Ljosalfar: Ler-jos-al-far
Svartalfar: Svart-al-far
Luchuip: Loo-chueep or loo-cherp
Perpentach: Per-pen-tash
Keelyn: Kee-lin
Sheaim: Sheeeem
Balseraph: Bal-ser-ath
Malakim: Mal-a-kim
Cassiel: Cass-eel
Kael: Kale

Good old english pronounciation

 

[megamanx06]

what about the svartalfar chick? (I don't feel like opening up FfH right now to find the spelling, and I don't want to make an idiot of myself for trying)

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Fair-ill Vick-own-ia

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Faeryl Viconia: Fie-ril Wick-own- ia or Fie-rül Wick-own-ia (with very heavily trilled r. Ephasis on the penult of Faerly and the antepenult of Viconia. Classical Latin pronunciations are always correct )

 

[Darksaber1]

Fey-ril Vick-own-ea (roll the r, emfisise the Fey slightly, empisise the -ea)

 

[Monkeyfinger]

Sheaim: Shyaim
Faeryl Viconia: Fair-ill Vie-cone-ya

My pronunciation of Viconia is objectively correct, any other way is wrong, but for Sheaim, Faeryl and everything before that my guess is as good as anyone's.

 

[Ekolite]

Faeryl Viconia: Fie-ril Wick-own- ia (very heavily trilled r)

Mine is Fair-rill Vi-co-nee-a

My pronunciation of Viconia is objectively correct

Sounds Eastern European to me. In English I think we say ''ia'' as ''ee-a'', not just ''ya''.

 

[Micky Onimusha]

what about the svartalfar chick? (I don't feel like opening up FfH right now to find the spelling, and I don't want to make an idiot of myself for trying)

I pronounce it as: Fah-rill* Vick-Ko-Nee-Ah

*rhyme with gill

Speaking of the Elves: Arendel Phaedra? I have her down as: Ah-ren-del Fay-Dra ... pretty much say it as I see it spelt. Anyone got her as anything different?

 

[evanb]

Ah-REN-dell FEH-dra

and for that matter: Ah-meh-LAHN-chier (ch = like in Loch (Scottish))

and I read Charadon with an initial Sh (influenced by French, no idea why...): SHAH-rah-don.

Oh, where's my IPA font when I need it...

 

[Micky Onimusha]

I've always have Charadon as a Ch (so Chah-rah-don).

Am-meh-lanch*-chee-er

*rhyme with branch

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Air-ren-dell fey-dra

A-meh-lan-tSheer

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Arendel Phaedra: Ah-REN-dell FIE -Dra (r's trilled of course)

Amelanchier: Ah-mel-ANKH-i-air (terminal r just barely trilled)

Charadon: CHAR - ə - don (One of the few time I don't trill the r. This one always reminds me of the pokeman Charizard for some reason)

 

[KillerClowns]

For some reason, I manage to squeeze three syllables into Arendel's last name. "Fai-ae-dra"

 

[petcarcharodon]

Charodon is pronounced with a hard C. The H is silent.

 

[Tyrs]

For some reason the first time I saw Luchuirp I immediately said Lurch-pin. I know its wrong, but it's stuck in my head now.

 

[Algeroth]

Ljosalfar: Ljo-sal-far
Svartalfar: Svart-al-far
Luchuip: Lu-čujp
Perpentach: Per-pen-tach
Keelyn: Ky-lín
Sheaim: Še-a-jim or Šea-jim
Balseraph: Bal-ser-aph
Malakim: Ma-la-kim
Cassiel: Ka-si-el
Kael: Kael

Good old Czech pronunciation.

 

[Milosrdenstvi]

Fairly certain that Nordic Lj == English L-y.

 

[evanb]

It's a palatalised L, I think.

 

[cypher132]

This probably has nothing to do with this, but does anyone say Duin Halfmorn's name in your head as "Baron Duin von Halfmorn"?
