Interestingly enough, when you check with the Oxford English Department, that's how they say it too.
Natchitoches is a fun one to use on people too. The expressions on their faces, let alone the horrid pronunciations, are comical in the extreme at times. LOL

Is he meant to come off as a huge bag of buttholes?
Because from the moment I was reading about the leaders he just seemed like the biggest jerk of all of them.
I'm not sure if he was originally written that way, or evolved into it. He certainly doesn't seem to discourage that opinion though. LOL
Pretty sure he gets an entire T9 full of coal for Christmas every year.
Might be more, but at least one.
I just pronounce this the Mandarin way, even though it's meant to be Cantonese style (otherwise Yong would be spelled Yang).
Mandarin sounds almost identical except "Rui" sounds like "Ruh-ay".
Kinda funny, that's how I pronounce them all aswell
Aye but, if thy comes from't north of England, then thy must always add a 'T' i.e 'T'hammer

I am completely new to Elite and just got the game fro PS4 on the 27th. I enjoy roleplaying in games like this and I enjoy knowing as much as I can regarding the lore and the setting of the world I am in.
That being said I am also a stickler for pronouncing names of people and places correctly. So I am gonna list the names of people and places I am having trouble with and if you all could give me the correct way to pronounce them I would greatly appreciate it.
Aisling Duval - I have been saying Eye-ling
Arissa Lavigny- Duval - (The lavigny part obviously) I have been saying Luh-vig-knee
Edmund Mahon - I have been saying Muh-hone
Denton Patreus - I have been saying Pa-tray-us (or just refer to him as "Jerkbag")
Li Yong-Rui - I have purposely avoided trying to say his name out loud or just call him "Lee"
Archon Delaine - I have been saying Delay-knee
Pranav Antal - Honestly have no idea here. Pra-nav An-tall?
Achenar - I have been saying Ack-eh-nar
Cubeo - I have been saying Q-bey-oh
Eotienses - Not even gonna try this one
I greatly appreciate any help that is offered. Thank you in advance.
Li Yong Roo-ee
eh-shling Doo-val (First name is Irish I think)
Ar-kon De-lane
Denton Pa-tree-us
Pra-nav Ant-all
Achenar-sure
Cubeo-you fine there

Aisling Duval - I have been saying Eye-ling Ays-Ling Doo-vahl. Ay sounds like the "ey" in "hey" with an "s." I can't find any reason to make the 's' silent.
Arissa Lavigny- Duval - (The lavigny part obviously) I have been saying Luh-vig-knee A-ris-sa La-vi-Knee
Edmund Mahon - I have been saying Muh-hone Edmond Ma-hon ( pretty straight forward )
Denton Patreus - I have been saying Pa-tray-us (or just refer to him as "Jerkbag") Denton Pa-tree-us though the more accurate would be Pa-tray-us
Li Yong-Rui - I have purposely avoided trying to say his name out loud or just call him "Lee" Lee Yong Roo-Ee or Rwee sounds similar to the French "Oui"
Archon Delaine - I have been saying Delay-knee Ar-kon Da-lane
Pranav Antal - Honestly have no idea here. Pra-nav An-tall? Pra-nev Ahn-taal
Achenar - I have been saying Ack-eh-nar The pronunciation is usually A-chee-naar but I've always said Ar-ka-naar, lol.
Cubeo - I have been saying Q-bey-oh Que-Bee-Oh
Eotienses - Not even gonna try this one E-o-shin-ses
I greatly appreciate any help that is offered. Thank you in advance.
blah blah too short even though I responded in the quote.

Hehe. Gaelic words are generally pronounced pretty consistently, in comparison with English. Just.. differently.
I love watching people struggle with names like Fachtna, Síomha, Cumhal, Conchobar etc..

It's such a fun little word, isn't it?
For those not in the know, it means "fate", or "personal destiny", and it an old Norse term.
I defer to here: https://theburlyram.wordpress.com/pronunciation-key-and-terminology/old-norse-pronunciation-key/
"Y and Ý – are pronounced like the ‘ü’ in the Germ. word ‘Fürher’."
So the correct pronunciation would be "würd", with a slight roll of the "r".
It sounds a bit like "word" when congested, but not quite.
Pronounced consistently, yes. Sound anything like they look? Not so much.
