Zogradia Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 This thread is meant to help people know how to pronounce the names of our nations. For example, Zogradia is pronounced "Zo" "grey" "dee" "uh", or in the IPA; /zoʊgreɪdiə/ (Also, Yakadu, Zogradia's capital, is pronounced "Ya-ka-du" with an "a" as in "arm") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hariko Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 In my mind, I hear “why why for you.” Idk why, just do. Anyway, most people probably hear Hairy-koh when they read my nation name but it's Hah-ree-koh, but the “r” is halfway between an “r” and an “l” because it's East Asian.

Malviet Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 In everyone else's mind, it will always be Hairy-ko. Anyways, Malviet is pronounced Mal-Vee-Et, should anyone be confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Pacific Spy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I say Dark-Asia in my head. Wow, that's a little different. Mine's said normally, with each word being the same as normal (yes, I'm boring like that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujai Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Wait, it's not pronounced Dark-EE-jah? (with the J pronounced with a French accent (there's probably a sound for that in Englich, but I can't put it into words)) My mind has been thoroughly blown. Fujai is pronounced Foo-JAY, as it says in my signature, because everyone I've seen try to pronounce it does it wrong. It doesn't help that Fujai is pronounced quite oddly for a nation with a language closely related to Norwegian, since Norwegian doesn't have a hard 'j' sound.

Hariko Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Fujai is pronounced Foo-JAY, as it says in my signature, because everyone I've seen try to pronounce it does it wrong. In their defense, “ai” isn't usually associated with the sound that “ae” or “ā” makes. In my head, “ai” sounds like “eye”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujai Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 So, "ay" as in "pay"? Yep. In their defense, “ai” isn't usually associated with the sound that “ae” or “ā” makes. In my head, “ai” sounds like “eye”. Yeah, you're right. I forgot about that bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zogradia Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yep. Yeah, you're right. I forgot about that bit. I also thought "eye". Try "ey", as in "hey". It makes phonological sense, too, e (as in egg) + i (as in eel) = ey (as in Fujai). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
