How do you pronounce various race names.

[LiNeNoiSe]

I Americanized "Aslan" as well. I pronounced "K'Kree" as "Centaur." The players pronounced it as "Jackass."

 

[Supplement Four]

žo-dan-ee
vär-ger
ăz-lăn
kǝ-kree (The glottal is outside my comfort zone.)
sō-lō-mä-nē
drōyǐn (heavily elided to be a one beat vowel.)

That's how I say them.

I used to say Droyne like Toy Knee.

But, in the last decade or so, I've been saying Droyne like Coin. One syllable.

I think I saw that Marc says it that way, or something along those terms that changed my pronunciation.

I guess I look at it from the standpoint that if you take the same word, and have it pronounced by someone from Boston, someone from Appalachia, someone from the Midwest, a Cajun from Louisiana, someone from Texas, and someone from southern Georgia, you are going to hear six different pronunciations, all of which will be correct for the speaker. That does not include the way it might be pronounced in various areas of Great Britain, Scotland, or Ireland.
