Cantr II Discussion Forum

I find it interesting how oddly some people pronounce the semi-common "oi" suffix...

I say Cantr, like most people - Canter.

My mum says - Cantra

(My mum?! Yeah she says, "what's all this Cantra crap on the computer" Parents )

Baaak:= Bahk (long ah sound, ie as in "hark hark the lark" but without the r)
Blojt:= Bloit (but just a hint of tch at the end)
Cantr:= Cantr(e) with a French roll to the "r".
Doryiskom:= Dory-yis-kom (I definitely break the "y" sound like that)
Djorf:= Dyorf
Drojf: = Droif
Kiii:= Ki-i (shortish both, like some endings in Latin)
Klojt:= Kloit (but just a hint of tch at the end)
Ladvicitavoi:= Lad-vee-see-ta-voy
Moku:= Moku (both vowels short)
Olipifirovash:= Olipi-firovash (so the emphases are mainly on lip and fir)
Quillanoi:= Kwilla-noy (emphasis muchly on Kwil)
Siom:= Sigh-om (emphasis on Sigh, rather like as in Zion)
Sjoftich:= Shof-tich (but the ch as in Scottish "Loch")
Tircqi:= tir-Kee (with more empahsis on the Kee)
Mulof:= Mee-lof (but with the lips more rounded like the German umlaut u, but a bit shorter)

The Sociologist wrote:Doryiskom:= Dory-yis-kom (I definitely break the "y" sound like that)

Having just spent some time there I would pronounce it Dorky-isom.

Bad experience, I take it?

to start off
cantr = plain old Canter
Baaak = baaak using all the a's.
Mulof = Mu-love
Cantr = Canter
Quillanoi = well, i cant even say it
lad = lad, cant be bothered to spell or say it.
Zhift = shift
AJS = Aki Jaki place/ AJS
Klojt/blojt and anything with jt at the end = Klot, Blot. just silent 'j'

Colonel, do you think you could upload Jos' pronunciation promo somewhere online and link it?

This one?

Ah yes! Thanks much.

The Voice of Jos, ladies and gents.

Ok, I pronounce it mostly Englih, or how I feel like it.

Zhift: Zift
Mulof: Moolof
blojt: blot
Ladvicatavoi: Same way I try to spell it(and I did that from memory )
baaak: bok
Cantr: Canter
quillanoi: quillanoi (though Spanish "i" and long o)
Kii: Kee
olipofirovash: Same way I spell it, or just olipovash/olip.
Doryiskom: doriskom
Moku: mokoo (first o long)
Sjoftich: Sjoftich (literally)
Siom: See-om

This is an English server, isn't it? oi: (though Spanish "i" and long o)

Tircqi- tear-see

It's amazing how differently we pronouce these

I say Tic-ree for that one.

I'm one of those people who when they see a word they automaticly think its something, even if they know its the wrong pronounciation...

I remember when i first read Harry Potter (ew) I pronounced Hermione (bad spelling) "Hemorine" heehe...

I remember that one guy she dated. Who would date someone who can't even pronounce you're name? I pronounced it right, though most of family also read it. Back to topic, though I don't have anything else to say.

when i read it I used to call her "Hemonle" in my head for some reason...

Is that like the British pronunciation of Aluminum...which I've heard pronounced AluminIum?
