I would pronounce this "Cor-ee-ool", I guess.

5. Wendala

7. Tarabulla

Tar-ah-bull-a?

Ay-don or Add-on. xD

22. Djarma
Dar-ma or Jar-ma.

26. Guanidia
Gan-nid-ea?

27. Askhbar
Ask-bar?

29. Yveen
I have no idea... never could work out the "yv" thing. xD I think I say something like "Yiv-een" lol

34. Deuterium
Ummm.... Doo-tur-ree-um?

35. Oglong
Ogg-lon? Ogg-long?

39. Kratin
Hmm... Crat-in? Somehow that doesn't seem right.

[Cassiopeia]

See, that's really not easy!
Here's my suggestions:
I agree about Coryool
Wendala - Wen-duh-lah (but you can call her Wendie)
Tarabullah seems right (though Tara is easier)
Seiman is his name acutally, but I'd pronounce him like you
Adon - I'd rather say Aydon
Djarma - I'd say Jarma
Guanidia - I'd say Goo-a-nee-dia (but I call him Goonie anyway, lol)
Askhbar - agreed
Yveen - I pronounce the Y as though it was an I, so I-veen
Deuterium - I'd say Doo-tee-ree-um or Doo-te-ree-um
Oglong - I do pronounce the g at the end (btw - he's a virus, hehehe)
Kratin - hmmm, Cray-tyn I'd say

[Kylie]

Augh! Not easy at all!

It seems I got some of them a little bit right, by your standards at least.

BUT. Does Indi pronounce them the same way?! lol

[Cassiopeia]

Well, that's the question! I bet he'd be shocked about the way we torture his creatures' names!

[Kylie]

We will have to see when he finds our posts!


Even though the way we pronounce "Benoit" is most likely wrong, do you still pronounce it that way? I do.

[Cassiopeia]

I think so. I've gotten used to it and I like it better.
(Sorry, Indy)

[Kylie]

I think so. I've gotten used to it and I like it better.
(Sorry, Indy)

I feel the same way.

Ben-wah just isn't as nice as Ben-oyt.

(Get over it, Indi. LOL jk )

[Cassiopeia]

French is much harder to pronounce than English. For me at least. When I learned French at school my tongue felt like there was a knot in it.

4. Coryool
"Cor-ee-ool"

5. Wendala
Win-Doll-ah

7. Tarabulla

Tar-ah-bull-a?

17. Seimen
Sey-men

20. Adon
Ay-don

22. Djarma
Jar-ma

26. Guanidia
Gwan-need-ea

27. Askhbar

29. Yveen
"Yiv-een"

34. Deuterium
Doo-tur-ree-um?

35. Oglong
Ogg-long

39. Kratin
Crate-in

[Cassiopeia]

LOL, I'm really curious about what Indy will say!

[<3Benoit]

While we're waiting for him, I pronounce your username, "cas ee oh pee ah", xD

[Indinera]

That's how I pronounced it too, though I figured it's probably wrong.

As for other names - well, in LF there's Kratin. If I pronounce him the French way he rather sounds like something to eat, hehehe!
Or Brussian. Don't know why, but I always pronounce the ss as sh.

Brussian - Bru- like "butter" with a "r" between "b" and "u" and -ssian like "sheeane"
Kratin - like "crater" except "tin" sounds as "tain" of "tainted" (kinda)

[Indinera]

I still stubbornly pronounce Benoit as what Kylie said, Hirado as" Her raw dough", xD, Salome as "Suh low muh", I always accidentally pronounce Jeanne as "Jee anne".

Hirado - Hee-Raa-Dow
Salomé - "sa" of satisfaction - "lo" of "J-Lo" - "mé" of "meh"
Jeanne - "jann" (not "djann")

[Indinera]

Never thought of salami, but you're right!
And Piu Piu was always pew pew for me. Wouldn't know how to pronounce it differently.
