Snorkel Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Pet peeve, since Brandon says he based horneater language on Polynesian languages. It would be Noo-moo hoo-koo mah-kee ah-kee EYE-ah loon-ah more The 'ai' diphthong in Polynesian languages is pronounced like the word "eye", not like the letter A. Edit: Also, the Polynesian languages I'm familiar with, all the words end with vowels. And the Rs are lightly rolled. So, an R at the end is weird.

Bacon Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 The only correct way to pronounce Kaladin is with this intonation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorkel Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 11 hours ago, Ghanderflaffle said: I already do it like that. Good! Brandon says it ". . . AY-ah loon-ah more." AY rhyming with hay. And in his last live-stream, Isaac had a go, and pronounced each vowel separately. Something like "ah-ee-ah loon-ah moor" which is definitely wrong. *This is assuming that Brandon actually intends Horneater to follow the pronunciation rules of Polynesian languages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience Posted October 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) I'm pretty sure canonically all vowels are hard in Elantris. So A as in say, E as in green, I pronounced 'eye', O as in go, and U pronounced 'you' Edited October 16, 2020 by Experience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That suggests that the language collapsed /u/ and /o/. All in all it looks like Aons need to be pronounced like they were Spanish or Italian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummingCloud Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) I personally think that Rlain is pronounced rhayn with rh being a uvular trill (similar to the dutch g sound) Seeing the phonetic charts for the languages would be useful though.
