    Apparently it's a real plant and it's pronounced "byoo gloss" (Edit: or maybe not - apparently it's not very clear).

    I pronounce it "chow russ", because that's more intuitive to how I would pronounce it in my native language.

    "Bang-ko-rye", so almost like Banker-rye, but not really.

    "Droig" (like "droid", from Star Wars), but the lore master said "Dreg", which I don't like because it sounds like "Dreck" in German which is "dirt".

    Bugloss - BUG - Loss. It's a RL plant, and the local "herbologist/entomologist" pronounces it that way. Dregh (dregHch)... it's been that way since.... um..... forever. Listen to the pronunciation in some of the older games - Oblivion particularly.

    I've always said it like Bug Loss, like chorus despite all voice actors saying chaw-rus (the walrus) and Bangkorai with the emphasis on Bang.

    Seeing Dreugh up here I initially said it "dreg" but I was always confused by that when found out it's more like Drew. But I also used to say draught like drought but with an "ah" sound until I found out it's draft.

    NPCs in the game pronounce it as "dreg."

    that is like with many english and australian town and city names - the writing doesn't represent the actual pronunciation very well and it requires often to listen to the locals to get the proper pronunciation.

    similar with dreugh wax - in my mind I pronounce it like droyic, but NPCs say dreg - so the official way is dreg. I think I heard NPCs saying kau-rus, even in my mind i pronounce it like chow-rus. With Bangkorai I pronounce it ban-ko-ray.

    Well, or think of Yosemite in the USA - how on earth can someone from the writing get to the pronunciation "joe-sam-eeh-tea" -. just wow.

    Chorus

    Bhang Khorai (like IRL. It's an Indian dish that I have never eaten and would not recommend. Who put that in the game?)

    Drew

    I have never pronounce Anequina like they do in ESO, it's ann eh KEE nah

    As for their rendition of "ignominy", I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

      Byoo-gloss. A real plant, from the Greek bou (ox) and Latin glosso (tongue).

      Chore-rus (but not sure if that is right).

      Ban-ker-aye. The 'g' seems almost slient. Emeric said it this way, but then I know some other NPCs don't quite say words consistently.

      Also:

      Dreg.
