Nch-ur-damz

N plus ch

ur as in Dagoth ur

and damz as in dams but with a z

M-zu-lft

Me but the e isn't there

zu

and left, the e isn't there but say it with the e

ark-ng-thand

ark

say N plus a G

Thand basically like hand but put a t at the beginning or could be th + and

This is how I pronounce them.

Ch as in cherub or ch as in Bach?

I go for the latter, although that distinction isn't always clear in the game voice acting: for instance, the difference between the end of Ainethach and Manadanach in Skyrim.

I'd say the latter, makes more sense. the CH in Loch would be for ending a word I think.

I just try to pronounce them phonetically. :D

Like, Mzulft to me is like one and a half syllables. But I could be wrong. Apparently I always am.

Properly, as the goddishonest Dwem should rattle off their smoke-choked tongues?

Mzulft: /majz ?laf/

Arkngthand: /?r??n e??/

Nchurdamz: /nay??r d?m?s/
