Pronunciation of Vaegirs

[Antares]

It is pronounced Vay ~gers

On Khergits - there is a country Kyrgyzstan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrgyzstan). "Stan" means "country", so the name of it sounds like Khergit-Stan - country of Khergits, and coincidentally it's in the middle Asia (steppes). On Vaegirs - I always thought it's from one of versions of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varangians but that doesn't give clues how to pronounce it exactly (Vay-geers or Veh-geers).

Another possibility is - there is no officially proper way of spelling these names

This is largely how I pronounce this. Makes sense.

 

[Gasket]

I say Vay-gers

Me too, sort of, a bit  like Vay-gears.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I tend to be useless with Slavic sounding terms.

And about Vaegirs: V is obvious, the AE part like you say "ain't", the G is like in 'gun' and I is like in 'wits'. The R is the way of pronunciation that english speakers cannot vocalize, as it is not formed with your lips, but with your tounge moving behind your teeth fast upward-downward. Or simplier put, like germans say RAMMSTEIN

I tried to pronouce that, if that's how it is, then boy it's a badass word.

Hungarian IS a badass language for everyone not born with it!

Hmm, does anyone know what it is in the Japanese version of the game? Japanese has fewer vowel sounds (and consonant sounds) than other languages, but it's phonetic. That would also be nice for Khergit- is it KherGit or KherJit?

For me it is as follows.

Vaegir = Vay-zure (the g being pronounce like the g in beige)
Khergit = Khur-Get

How about Rhodoks?

Row-Dokes or Row-Docks? I ask because I've heard my roommate pronounce it as the latter but I always use the former.

 

[Suspicous Pilgrim]

I pronounce it vay-gers.


Come to think of it, I seem to pronounce it multiple ways.

Row-Dokes or Row-Docks? I ask because I've heard my roommate pronounce it as the latter but I always use the former.

My pronunciation is more like Row-Docks than like Row-Dokes.

[MadocComadrin]

I pronounce the names like they were High German words (except for Sultanate and Khanate, since they're already English).

 

[Riddle]

Vay-Ghir

[LeRoux]

I think that's our language there, Gh in my language isn't pronounciated as F.
