    How do you pronounce Miqo'te?

    Been trying to figure this out for a while... but yeah how do you pronounce it? I have been saying "Mico-Tay" and I'm usually horribly wrong with this kinda thing lol

    More or less like that. I put the emphasis on the "qo" part, with a glottal stop for the apostrophe (i.e. similar to the short pause in the middle of "uh-oh").

    In IPA symbols, something like /mi:'koʔtɛ/ is how I say it myself. My main uncertainty is the exact quality of the final e sound.

    "My cutie", obviously.
    Honestly though, since it's Squeenix we're talking about I'm pretty sure it'd be something close to how a Japanese person would pronounce "mikote".

    I just want to know how to pronounce some of those names the npcs have in Limsa, that look like gold sellers names.
