Phonetics and you!

[Tigara]

As I look around the boards, I see that a lot of the characters have really strange names. So, I thought it would be interesting to have a thread to show people how to pronounce the names! *dodges inevitable rotting fruit, vegetables, and rocks that will be thrown* ;D

 

I’ll start!

 

Melianna                Hollmen

(Mel – ee – anna    Hall – men)

 

Ok, that one wasn’t as hard, but others may be.

 

Tigara                  Kazim

(Tie – gair-ah      Kaz - em) pronounced Chasm

 

Jagaea              Kazim

(Jag – ay-a      Kaz - em) pronounced Chasm

 

Ikkiliad                    sur    Paendrag

(Ikk – ill – ee - add  sir    Pay – en – drag)

 

Zari      and Zela        Chasei

(Zar-ee and  Zel – ah  Chass – eye)

 

Jasmyne      Ceres

(Jazz – min  Ser – ez)

 

Eve    Mitayah

(Eve  Mit – tay – ah) OK, that one was easy.

 

Seth Roses

(Not gonna bother with this one ;p)

 

Heather al’Morris

(Another straightforward one)

 

Saeric                Talvus

(Say – ur- ick    Tal – vus)

 

Aos der’Kelman

(Ay - oss  dare’ Kel – man) Aos = Chaos - ch
