    Always pronounced it ruh-kin-duh-lift. But I'm also a member of the very stubborn "drew" wax crowd, so I'm probably way off.

    Its pronounced like dreg I believe.

    Ruh is probably the most common but figure R followed by most short vowel sound (Roh, Rah, Ruh, Rih) is good enough or even Err-kindaleft. Err is my preferred since it connects the R and K naturally without excess sound and mouth, tongue and dental movement which I am sure Dwemer word structure is meant to lack. Mzark is pronounced Mm-Zark not Muh-zark. Dreugh is pronounced Dreg, Draught is draft.

    I'm going to go with this one. Google translate detects the language as Estonian and pronounces it that way. And here I thought Dwarves were always Scottish... Estonian, who knew?

    You are thinking of them as dwarven half-men like Lord of the Rings when you should be thinking of them for the Elves they are with more of a native American style of dialect.

    I would say the 'R' has an omitted 'i' after it so it would be Ri-kinda-left for me, pretty much like when and if we speak "Sri Lanka".

    But the proposition above of the 'R' being muted as in all Dwemeri names sounds (which I didn't know) more reasonable to me.
    I am the very model of a scientist Salarian, I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian.
    I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).
    My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian, I am the very model of a Scientist Salarian.

    My pronunciation is now validated even if it isn't the correct one :P
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Oh my God thank you so much that is so awesome. And thanks to everyone else who responded! I had no idea that so many people would take notice of such an innocuous part of the game! Now I can run it knowing I'm saying it right haha!
