    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.

    We pronounce it You sem i(t) tee. Where do they call it Joe sam eeh tea?

    well, I heard it that way on the web - so I've learnt something new now, thank you.

    Y'all have to remember there are a lot of local accent variants across the US. There's a woman I know who has always pronounced Yellowstone as "Yallerstone" because she grew up in an area where the word yellow was always pronounced "yaller".

    As for Yosemite, in my family we've always pronounced it "Yoh-semmi-tea" - which doesn't mean there's no other ways it gets pronounced after all!

      Yeah, this is how I pronounced it at first too, but then you consider how his name is pronounced (Neh-reh-var, I think; rhymes with moon-and-star) and I feel like it should be Neh-reh-var-in, or something

      'BYOO-gloss' (real word in our world)

      'KOW-roos' or 'KAH-roos' (short s at end, based on pronunciation of various letters from Aldmeri language, where that word probably stemmed from if I had to guess - CH is almost always pronounced K, AU as 'ow' in most cases ('ah' in the others), the U, based on how most of the pronunciation follows a typical European pattern, I went with oo)

      'BANE-kor-ai' (based on how it is pronounced in the game by NPCs saying it)

      'Dreg' (again, based on how it is pronounced in game by NPCs)

      Voice actors for the game say "DREG" for "Dreugh."

      Google says either BYOO-gloss or BOO-gloss for "Bugloss."


      :smiley:

      Mudcrabs drop ... what?

      "Chitin" -- and that is pronounced "KAI-tin."


      :smiley:

      They're allowed to pronounce it however they want to. Since they were probably in character when tracking vocals for the game, they pronounced it how their character probably would. Considering that I'm not from Tamriel, I'm from Earth and I speak English, I pronounce I think it should be pronounced in English.

      I wish I could find the ESO Live with Sir Lawrence doing a pronunciation segment with these.
      He did several of them on Dwemer names and such.

      And yes, LoreMaster says it is "Dreg".
      Can any one find the Lore segments with Lawrence?

      Huzzah!
