I've been wondering lately, how do you guys think the assorted names of EVO are pronounced? Is it zid-ah-grr or zeid-a-ger or etc.
(I'm aware its text, sound it out or, if your really bored, do a wav file)

Here's how I pronounce things:
Miranu- Mur-AH-noo Igadzra- Ih-GAHDZ-ruh Zidagar- ZI-duh-garr Azdgari- AHZ-d'GAR-ee Voinian- VOY-nee-un Emalgha- eh-MAHL-guh Hinwar- HINN-wahr Zachit- ZACK-it Gadzair- GAD-zehr

The link itself didn't work, but I got the file by going to the "forgianfiles" directory and clicking on the file.

I agree with most of these, except that I say: Miranu - Mir-AH-noo (like the Mir space station) Zachit - ZATCH-it

I normally say it as that too, but with the changes david made and
Gadzair - Gahd-zair
Igadza - I always get tounge tied on. egg-ahd-zah is what I always try though
Zachit: Za-keet Miranu: Meer-an-u Zidagar: Zid-a-gar Igadzra: E-gadz-ra Azdgari: Azd-gar-ee UE: U-nyt-ted Erth Voinian: Voy-ne-on Emalgha: E-mal-ga Hinwar: Hin-war

Oh, and it says the page is "temporarily unavailable for viewing".
I say it:
Azdgari = az-di-gar-E Igadzra = i-gad-zir-a Zidagar = Zid-a-gar Miranu = MEr-ron-ew Voinian = voy-nE-on Emalgha = E-mal-gha Hinwar = hin-waR Zachit = Za-ch-it Gadzair = gad-zEr

Do what StarStrafer did, maybe it'll work then. Worked for me at least.
------------------ "I have been assured by a very knowing American of my Acquaintance in London; that a young healthy Child, well nursed, is, at a Year old, a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome Food; whether Stewed, Roasted, Baked, or Boiled; and, I make no doubt, that it will equally serve in a Fricasie, or Ragoust."
For me it's: Miranu- mee-raa-noo Igadzra- eee-gads-ruh Zidagar- zi-duh-garr Azdgari- azd-gar-ee Voinian- voy-nee-un Emalgha- air-mar-luh Hinwar- hinn-wahr Zachit- zar-kit
Would be nice to get an official list though

It works for me, but that may be the edit
Anyway, what StarStrafer said is pretty much what I do, except I say Miranu as Mir-AH-noo.

Impressive... at least no one has started a post on the correct way to pronounce "United Earth"!
Some of these EVO names are tough... Where'd they ever come up with them? (They are rather creative at times, however).

Umm........ Sorry Platypus..........
You know what, I've just discovered that for all these years I've been pronouncing Emalgha EL-MAG-PHA.

It truly amazes me to see that people don't pronounce Zachit "Za-keet"..........
Originally posted by SilverDragon: **It truly amazes me to see that people don't pronounce Zachit "Za-keet".......... **
I agree. ZA-KEET sounds so much better then ZA-CH-IT or ZAR-KEET.
Zarkeet? How did you get that???
------------------ The dragon awaits no whims but his own... Doom, gloom, and things that go boom!! Everyone but the black guy are Voinan's, and the black guy is Emalghion... "(url="http://"http://brickshelf.com/gallery/Cotton-Mouse/Other/fight.swf")Die Voinan Scum!(/url)"
It's ZA-CHIT. You say it how it looks. Za-keet sounds some weird... er... word.
My pronunciations:
Miranu- Meer-AH-new Igadzra- Ig-AHDZ-ra Zidagar- ZI-duh-garr Azdgari- Azd-GARR-ee Voinian- VOY-nee-un Emalgha- eh-MAHL-guh Hinwar- HINN-wahr Zachit- ZA-shhite (double h's so it won't get *d out by the swear filter. :mad: ) Gadzair- GAD-zair Kayan- KAY-un
How can you all call the Zachit the ZACKit? It grates my ears!

you know...I never really thought too much about the pronunciations before...but here's how I 'say' some of them (
Miranu- Muhr-AN-oo Igadzra- Ih-gaz...ih-gar...ih-, ah heck, the iggies (the way the z's are placed gets me a little messed up, obviously) Zidagar- Zih-DI-gar Azdgari- As-duh-GAR-ee or just Ah-zzies (I can get this one right sometimes...) Voinian- VOY-nee-un Emalgha- eh-mal-GEE-uh (don't ask me where i get that extra sound) Zachit- ZACK-it Gadzair- I usually end up going with GAZ-dare
And no, I'm not very good at doing the phonetic spelling type deals. And, Samurai, I'm sorry about grating your ears...
