Pronounciation

[LaconianShot]

I know that this might sound kind of stupid, but I was wondering how you all pronounced the names of the PS characters. So I'll start off with the most...er...confusing ones and how I pronounce them...please post with finetically spelled words...<br>Mieu= mew<br>Shir=sure<br>Nei=nay<br>Dark Falz=dark-fellz<br>Orakio=or-ack-eo<br>Rulikir=roo-lick-er (with emphasis on the first syllable)<br>Kyra=Kai-ra (kai rimes with fly)<br>Myau=my-yow (yow as in yowl)<br>Ryhs=rice<p>So, what do you think?<p><p>[size=small][Edit by LaconianShot on [TIME]1083265367[/TIME]][/size]

Here would be mine:<br>(Note: ' = emphasis)<p>Mieu = mee-oo'<br>Shir = sheer<br>Nei = nay<br>Dark Falz = dark-falls<br>Orakio = o-ra'-kee-o<br>Rulakir = roo-la-keer<br>Kyra = kee'-ra (variant of "Keira" or "Kira" )<br>Myau = mee-ow'<br>Rhys = rice (I'll go with yours, since I was unsure, plus, it seems more accurate anyways)

[Benoit]

Mieu=Mjeu (eu like the French word "bleu)<br>Shir=Sh-ir<br>Nei=(pronunciation doesn't exist in English)<br>Dark Falz=Dark Falz<br>Orakio=O-re-kjo<br>Rulakir=Ru-la-kir<br>Kyra=Kai-ra (kai rimes with fly)<br>Myau=Mjoo (yow as in yowl)<br>Rhys=Rajs

[LaconianShot]

Heh, guess I pronounce the names like most people.<br>If I'm right, Benoit, bleu isn't said like mew, correct? Does that mean that you pronounce Mieu, more or less, like "Mee-uh"?<br>And spell finetically please! That means spell the words the way they're said.

<blockquote>f I'm right, Benoit, bleu isn't said like mew, correct?

That means spell the words the way they're said.</blockquote> <br>I know! That's what I'm doing... Or at least trying to.

[Lord Khyron]

Mieu= Mew<br>Shir= Sheer <br>Nei=nay <br>Dark Falz=dark-fallz <br>Orakio = O-Rak-I-o<br>Rulikir=Roo-Lac-kir<br>Kyra=Kai-ra (kai rimes with fly) <br>Myau=My-oh (yow as in yowl) <br>Ryhs=Ris as in Chris

Since Japanese is a phonetic language, pronunciation is quite easy. Of the ones above, Miz's has the most correct Japanese names. The ones changed obviously don't apply. (Kyra/Shess)<p> As for Rhys, it rhymes with "peace" and it's a proper british name.<br> <br> Now, here's a test for you..........Laya--and no, it's not like the Star Wars character.<br>(guesses anyone?)<p>

[Demon Child]

Just a guess but wouldnt it be pronounced something like this 'rai-ya' ?

[Neo48]

I will never look at Dark Falz the same again....

[Monocromatico]

Seeing that those are not english names, I think they deserve a neutral pronunciation, something latin/japanese/indo-european.<p>Mieu= Mee-eh-oo<br>Shir=Sheer<br>Nei=Nay<br>Dark Falz=dark... err... falz<br>Orakio=or-ah-keo<br>Rulikir=roo-lack-eer<br>Kyra=Kee-ra<br>Myau=mee-ow (like, the sound of a cat... naturally)<br>Ryhs=rees

[Mizehrith]

<blockquote>As for Rhys, it rhymes with "peace" and it's a proper british name.</blockquote> <br>Interesting! I did not know that. As for "Laya", I've always pronounced it as "la-ya", with emphasis on the "la" syllable.

<blockquote><i>Originally posted by ill-intent</i><br> <br> Now, here's a test for you..........Laya--and no, it's not like the Star Wars character.<br>(guesses anyone?)<p></blockquote><p>Forgot to do this one. It´s Ly(as in "fly")-ah

[LaconianShot]

I guess that it would be lai-yah (lai is in fly).<br>Oh! I forgot Rolf! <br>role-f<br>Though I've heard it pronounced as rall-f and rol-f (short, not elongated, so it's like wolf).

I say "roll-f"<br>

[Benoit]

I pronounce Laya as Laja.<br>Rolf as Rolf.
