My friend and I made it a habit of telling each other how we pronounce the names of things on here, and now I wanna see what others pronounce stuff as!
For example, my friend pronounces Zerda as Zerr-Duh, but I do it as Zare-duh. But similarly, we both pronounce Broch as "brock" lol.
So now I wanna start a kinda game where we all just pronounce things to see how different everyone says things!
Some of my other ones:
Echecara : eck-ay-car-uh
Colpach : cole-pack
Jocol : joe-cole
♡ leap before you think! ♡
That is very interesting to me! I say "Zerr-Duh". For Jocol, I pronounce it "Jock-ol".
I wonder how others say Bracchus. I pronounce it "brr-ah-chus".
Woof woof, woofers.
Oh this will be fun :D
♡ leap before you think! ♡
Zair-duh (zerda)
Brack-us (bracchus)
Brock (broch)
col-pack (colpach)
juh-coal (jocol)
Nigh-thuh (Nytha)
Tore-Sign (Torcine)
eck-ih-car-uh (echecara)
I was wondering the same thing lately - it's been on my mind for a bit but I never thought to make a post about it lol.
Echecara - etch-eh-car-uh
Jocol: joe-cull
Zerda: Zare-duh
Nytha: Like myth-a but with an n
Torcine: Tore-seen
Can't think of any others atm but it's fun to read what others have!
@Twicup For me, Toricine is 'tore-sin' cx I think it's cool we pretty much pronounce Echecara the same!
@TmstrBlmstr we pretty much pronounce all those the same, but the random t sound in the way you say Echecara gets me xD

Actually I still see several ways to pronounce any of the written out suggestions, so I'll try the international phonetic alphabet instead where I struggle. Even that is hard, though. There are IPA readers out there to check what it sounds like, although there are differences based on accents since some sounds don't exist in some languages. Some dictionaries like the cambridge dictionary have good phonetic resources to compare to words that have the same sounds.
Zerda: ze:ərda
Although, for Jocols, "jock-ol" fits and is easier.
I think for Bracchus, "brack-us" would fit as well.
For Broch and Colpach, I'd put a phonetic tʃ at the end.
For Torcine: tɔːrtʃin (the only one I got in the exact phonetics so that the reader spits it out perfectly)
