How do you pronounce faction names?

[Aetius]

I remember reading ages ago on these forums, back in 08 or 07, people arguing over how to correctly pronounce faction names, namely the Kergits. I realise the way i pronounce the names of the factions might be different to the majority. I would just like to see how other people pronounce faction names and which pronunciations are generally considered correct.

The first time i played M&B, i automatically pronounced each faction:

Swadia: Sway-di-a
Vaegirs: Vay-gears
Rhodocks: Row-docks
Kergits: Ker-jits
Nords: Nords
And now Sarranids: Sa-ra-nids (probably should be pronounce Sar-ra-nids)

How do you pronounce them?

How do you pronounce them?

Swadia : Swah-di-a
Vaigers : Vay-gers
Rhodocks: Row-docks
Kerhits : Ker-gits
Nords : pwn your face
Sarranid " Sar-a-nid

I too have been wondering this for quite awhile.

 

[Toffey]

Swadia: Swah-dee-a
Vaegir: Vay-ger
Rhodok: Row-dok
Khergit: Ker-git
Nord: Nord (of course)
Sarranid: Sair-a-nid

Maybe there is no right way. Already there are 3 different pronunciations for Swadia.

 

[E.M.Baguette]

Swadia: swa-dia
Vaegirs: vai-girs
Rhodocks: ro-doks
Kergits: kher-gits
Nords: nords
Sarranids: sa-ra-nids

 

[Ilhan]

Kind of the same... unless I'm french and for me Vaegir change :

Swadia: swa-dia
Vaegirs: va-é-gir
Rhodocks: ro-doks
Kergits: ker-gits
Nords: nords
Sarranids: sa-ra-nids

 

[Taimat396]

Swah-Di-a
Vay-Gir (Say it like gear, but shorten the a considerably)
Rhow-Dock (Row, with a short h sound after the R )
Cur-git
Nords.
Sa-r-er-nid

How do you pronounce them?

Swadia: "Swad-ia (as in swaddle, not as in sway)
Vaegirs: Vay-girs (the latter part sort of like "girl" only without the "l".)
Rhodocks: Rho-docks (Rho as in Chi Rho)
Khergits: Ker-gits (git as in spit.  I know its probably supposed to be jit, but I say git cos I'ma 'merican.)
Nords: Nords
Sarranids: Sarah-nids (might supposed to be said as "Sar-ranids", but once again, I'm American, so I reserve the right to Americanize any spelling I want )

Not really - Everyone'll pronounce things slightly differently, and everyone assumes their way is right.

 

[Aetius]

Swadia - SWAH-dee-ah
Vaegirs - VAY-jeer
Nord - NORD
Rhodocks - row-DOX
Sarranids - sa-rah-nid
Khergit - Ker-jheet

no

This thread is as much to find the 'official' pronunciation as it is for people to share how they personally pronounce the factions.

Oh, i thought you were saying no to all his pronunciations. I do find it funny how some people pronounce git in Kergits too. I know it's probably proper (either git or jit) but git in England means: "Git is a relatively mild slang term used in British English to denote a silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying, or childish person" or "git (a person who is deemed to be despicable or contemptible) the British call a contemptible person a `git."

I find the latter explanation of git to suit the Khergits .

Very similar to me, except
Swa-dee-ah (there is no "y" so its not "sway")
Rho-dux
Ker-gets

"Git" is also Southern American slang for "get," as in "git over 'ere boy and I'm gonna whoop you with mah bastard sword!"

 

[Taimat396]

Yes, but who listens to them anyway?

Using git for Khergit is correct anyway. Stupid, annoying and contemptible. Describes them perfectly.

 

[baronvonshober]

Swah-dee-ah
Nords
Ker-gits
Rah-docks
Vay-gers
Sair-a-nids

Aetius, I think "git" actually describes them rather well.

CtrlAltDe1337, "get" also means offspring, often bastards, so the bastard sword was especially fitting.
