Uralica Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) nice topic Raga B) Cataduanes is pronounced as follows: Cata (simple enough) Dua (like 'Du-ar') Nes (as it looks) Always thought it was kah-tah-DWAH-nes myself Anyway, my ruler name is YARK-ko SAW-low-mack-ee (IPA: /jɑrk˸ɔ sɑlɔmæki/) Pronunciation of my nation name depends on the language English: roughly oo-RAH-lick-uh (IPA: /uɹɑʟɪkə/) Finnish: OO-rah-leek-kah (IPA: /urɑlik˸ɑ/) Russian: roughly oo-RAH-leek-uh (IPA: /uralika/) NOTE: The upside-down "r" is the English "r," the voiced alveolar rhotic approximant. The normal-looking "r" is the "rolled r," the voiced alveolar trill. I've been waiting for a topic like this, being an epic language geek and all EDIT: IPA stress markings don't work properly so I went with bold for primary stress instead.

Nation Name Lib as in "Libya" nan as in "Nandos chikkinz." Isn't Libnan close to the Arabic name for Lebanon? (I s'pose it even could be the Arabic name for Lebanon, depending on the dialect.)

Michael von Prussia Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 My forum name's not the problem. It's my RP name, Michael von Preußen. That's an eszett, not a capital B, not a beta. If you don't have an eszett key and are too lazy to copy/paste, then spell it "Preussen," not "PreuBen." As for pronunciation... Preußen would be, in simplified terms, pronounced Proi-sen. No, that's not horribly correct, but it's not horribly incorrect. See this. Now, my other names are easier: Michael von Prussia, Mako Lim, Mako-chan. All spelled as they sound. 林眞 is also pronounced "Mako Lim."
