HOW TO PRONOUNCE DREUGH WAX?

✭✭✭✭
Hello people.
I have heard people pronounce Dreugh wax many different ways over the years.
Some examples are: Dro-wax. Draw-wax. Dreu-wax. Dree-ugh-wax. Dre-ugh wax.
I've always called it Dre-ugh wax. There are Dreugh creatures in the game. They have the same spelling as the crafting material.
There are numerous times an npc pronounces Dreugh as "Dre-ugh".
How do you pronounce it?
I'll post a video on the npc dialogs.

✭✭✭✭✭Dreugh is pronounced "Dreg", or at least, it is in most past TES content.
TES is such a big franchise (and ESO has so many voicelines) that you're bound to find mispronunciations.
I'm not even gonna go into the guy that claims to be the Nerevarine in Vvardenfell but can't even pronounce it correctly27 -
Jack-0✭✭✭✭✭Oh there’s an npc whose voice actor must have been given a script with a typo in it as he always pronounces daedric as ‘dey-ah-drick’ instead of the correct ‘deydrick’.
For dreugh, I pronounce it ‘drewg’ as in the second syllable of Andrew, with a g on the end.1 -
RicAlmighty✭✭✭✭✭It's "Dreg", the enemy of the same name is said in the game 100 times.Content Pass is not the answer. It is a question, the answer is No.22 -

The English language has so many "exceptions to the rule".
Until it's rationali(z or s)ed, you're gonna be wrong. Some one (not one word!) will take exception.Alarm clocks kill dreams. A conclusion is simply where you stopped thinking. The measure of the greatness of a society lies in how it treats its weakest members.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭The devs once said live on stream the official pronunciation was droo/drew. They then proceeded to say it at least three different ways, and I think four can be heard in ESO.
So…however you like.Edited by virtus753 on August 9, 2023 5:02PM8 -

✭✭like all words spoken, especially in a global community, pronunciation means little so long as the other party knows what you are referring to.4 -
Sir_Gentleman777✭✭✭Dreugh like in Drew Barrymore.
But quite honestly, english pronounciation is a mess. Do you call your Wifi Router now Router as in Route66 (with an r at the end of course) or do you call it Root(er) like the superuser on Linux UNIX Systems? Do you say dance with an open a (as in british pronounciation) or like an american a? And why is "spouse" pronaunced with an au while "course" with an ou? Or why do brits sometimes use the open a and sometimes the american a? English pronounciation simply doesn't make sense sometimes. And i am not even talking about regional accents, but about entire nations that all claim to speak english.
People always say german is hard to learn, but we have extremely clear rules on how words are pronounced. Once you learned this (also really easy) system, you can pronounce any german word, even if you never heard it before. The only thing in german, that is not clear, is the Ch as in Chemie (chemistry) or China. Some pronounce the Ch as a k, some as a broader sh as in the english word sh*t . But then again, this is more a regional difference, in the south it is more the k sound, towards the north it is the sh sound.6 -

To underscore your point: Ask many east coasters how Route 1 is pronounced and you’ll hear “root.”2 -

EnerG✭✭✭✭✭Just like real life, things can have diffrent pronunciations based on region, dreg or drew are both said. As well as various others across the mainline games.1 -

✭For the first 5 years of playing I always thought it was pronounced "drow" (not like brow, but more like drew), I've heard the NPCs say dreg, and later learned it was actually pronounced dreg, but I can't get away from calling it drow wax.0 -
Quackery✭✭✭✭✭It's pronounced "Dreg" like "Beg". That's the way the npc's pronounce it too and it's the only correct way.1
