Pronunciation: Mede

Post » Fri Aug 10, 2012 7:35 am

So yah, I'm back from being away for a long time, but I was never very prominent here anyway. I'm wondering, how would you go about pronouncing Mede (like Titus)?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mede

so, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_Englishhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English#Keyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English#Keyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English#Keyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English#Keyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English)

That's 'm' as in 'my', 'i' as 'y' in 'happy, 'd' as in 'dye', and 'z' as in 'zion' (though forget that last plural bit).

So yeah... meed.

Because he's from Media, silly, not Hispana.

I say "mead", but if it's the Latin pronounciation (Cyrodiil neo Roma estne?) it would be like a stylized "meh-deh"

Tee-toose Meh-deh.

Ee-m-peh-ra-tur Tee-toose Meh-deh Duo

If you're going for Italian, [censored] if I know.
