Pronounciations

[Lady]

So lets talk pronounciation. I'm just going to go over the races, but anything else that needs clarification on pronouncing, please feel free to add.

Hyur - ha-year - pronounced as one syllable
Elezen - EL-eh-zhen
Lalafell- Lah-Lah-Fehll
(now the fun ones)
Miqo'te - Meh-CO-tay
Roegadyn- Row-gah-DINN

Anyway thats how I say them in my head, anyone who has the correct pronouncation feel free to correct me ^_^ Or if you say them different, give me your interpretation.

Wish I would have had a thread like this while playing FFXI, you don't even want to know how I pronounced Konschtat Highlands

[Shougun]

I really dont remember the dictionary spelling style / IPA so here is my crappy English phonetic lol


Hyur - H sound, like in he and here H-your
Elezen - E-lee-zhen
Lalafell - Lawl-ah-fell
Miqo'te - Mi (me)-co-tay
Roegadyn - I know I say this one wrong but thats bcause I forget the spelling all the time lol Row-ged (like jed but with g)-rinn

[DubstepNinja]

Well heres how I pronunce them, I have a heavy accent though

Hyur - H-your
Elezen - Al-Zin
Lalafell - La-la-fhel (easy one)
Miqo'te - Mih-COH-tee
Roegadyn - Row-AH-Dhin
Chocobo - Cho-Cha-Bow
Paladin- PUH-lad-inn
Thaumaturge - Th-au-mah-tage
Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn- Add-mih-ril


No idea if these are right could be wildly off

Thread win.

I've always heard Eorzea pronounced Or-Zay-uh so that's how I say it.

[Rahsch]

Hyur - He-yer
Elezen - El-E-zhen
Lalafell- Lah-Lah-Fell
Miqo'te - Me-ko-tae
Roegadyn- Row-gah-din

[Obsy]

I try to make Hyur sound as foreign as possible because I feel like I'm being insensitive to the mentally challenged if anyone heard me say, "hhh-YERRRR". So I go for [ʰ-YOOR].
Lalafell is pretty straight forward, [LA-la-fehl]
Elezen - [EL-eh-zehn]
Miqo'te - [MEE-koh-teh]
Roegadyn - [RO-guh-deen]/[RO-guh-dinn]

I suppose in hindsight, I tend to throw myself at the first syllable and then let the rest just kinda trail out.

Also, Konschtat for me was [KHAN-shtat]
....Highlands is [HWARGFLOOFPERSCOOPITY-lajoogles]
