"Cantr"

How about Tircqi?

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

Drojf=Djorf, like Dwarf, but a j instead. Don't know how I thought it was Drojf though.
Lad-Vit-Chee-uh.
Kiii=Key

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

- 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:

Therefore we can mispronounce it all we want...it's our language.

:twisted:

How about.. Knatr? Is the K silent or what? I have like 5 pronunciations for each place, but y'know O_O;;;;;

Postby **Jos Elkink** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 1:20 pm

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!
