Pronunciation : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Sat Aug 07, 2010 1:03 am

I have a friend who pronounces things weird...sometimes just "wrong" in my opinion. I say Day-drah (friend says dee-drah), Drow (dreugh) (friend says dru-geuh), Vi-vic (friend says (Vi-vec, which might actually be accurate?) so idk.

Just say VEHK, it's easier

Shae-goh-rath
or
She-oh-gor-ath
or
Shae-oh-gor-ath

Next you'll tell me Rohugh it pronounced Roheg. :rolleyes:

Heg? HUG! :hugs:

(No I do think it's 'yew')

Sargon, Hammurabi, Ad-dad-shash-a-nam-moo and Gilgamesh! :rock:

Ro Hugh (like in roe-hue), his last name is Hughes, I think....

ANYWAY...
For sheogorath, the pronunciation is well defined in Shivering Isles, no?
Shay-oh-go-rath
Shay-oh-gor-ath
Shay-ohg-or-ath

No sure where the syllable breaks should be, I haven't played SI in over a year, and I wasn't really thinking about syllable breaks at the time I was playing it...
