How about Tircqi?

I would pronounce it "turkey", but that is just to simplify it... :D

Drojf=Djorf, like Dwarf, but a j instead. Don't know how I thought it was Drojf though.

Yes, this discussion has come up before :) ... If you want to understand how I pronounce things, it's a mixture between Dutch and Russian pronounciation ;) ...

Cantr I pronounce like Kanter would be pronounced in Dutch ('a' like in bath);
Tircqi like tirki, with the i pronounced like the letter e;
I really like the name Ladvicitavoi, and hate its abbreviation :D - again i like e, except last one which is pronounced like y (as in boy), first a as in bath, and second as in ... dunno, dutch aa :) ... This name sounds really nice if you pronounce it relatively fast :) ...;
Drojf / Blojt - j as y in boy :) ... Drjof is a typo originally ;) ...
Quillanoi - like Keelanoy, same a again that I cannot explain :) ...
Siom - like Seeyom;
Krif - like Kreef;
Kiii indeed like key, but slightly 'longer' :) ...
Doryiskom like Daryiskam, with emphasis on i and second a almost as uh ... which is really Russian way of doing it :) ...

But well, these are just my pronounciations :) ... I already noticed that all English speaking players make it completely different from what I thought :) ...

yeah but what language is the game primarily in?

English :shock: :wink:
Therefore we can mispronounce it all we want...it's our language.

:twisted: :lol:

I would myself not pronounce that K as silent. Never thought about the option :) ... So more like Knater, with fully pronounced K. Just swapping the n and the a in Cantr ;) ...

And I meant to talk to Sikakoira in that previous comment of mine - not to ask you all to pronounce her name! :) ...
