The Pronunciation Thread

[RosesofShadow]

How about Nattefrost, Wehrmacht and Anaal Nathrakh?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

How about [...] Anaal Nathrakh?

Uh-Nahl Nahth-rack.

 

[genocide roach]

If you were cool like me you would have books on how the languages of Middle-earth are pronounced. :Spin:

alot of those books are incorrect hehe. the best translations ive seen are at www.lotrplaza.com at the language board.

[genocide roach]

some more i cant figure out trettioariga kriget, hlidskjalf (burzum album)
~gR~

 

[andrew_plamondon]

What about Ved Buens Ende (especially the last word).

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I always thought Gorgoroth was more like GOR-gor-OTH, not GOR-GOR-oth. That's how it souded in the movie, although how accurate that is is anyone's guess.

alot of those books are incorrect hehe.

I was mainly referring to the appendices in the trilogy, written by Tolkien himself.

Thanks for the link, I frequent The Encyclopedia of Arda, they have a ton of LotR stuff.

hlidskjalf (burzum album)
~gR~

As far as I know, it's Lid-she-alf.

 

[The Grimace]

As far as I know, it's Lid-she-alf.

Little more like LEED-SHK-YULF. The 'k' sound is in there.

No.

 

[snow_like_ash]

How about Anaal Nathrakh?

Just watch Excalibur. It's a badass movie as well.

 

[The Grimace]

No.

Not to argue with a native and all, but uhh... yeah. I obviously don't mean a hard American 'kah' sound. I'm not that stupid. I'm just attempting an approximation of the subtle sounds in a way non-Scandinavians can understand. Just because YOU don't seem to understand your own language beyond your ability to speak it... well anyway, I've heard Varg saying it several times, he makes the 'ech' sound, stop being a prick.

NOW GODDAMMMIT I'M NOT HAVING STUPID FUCKING ARGUMENTS OVER STUPID SHIT WITH ANYONE ANYMORE!!

Varg's may not be the "real" Norwegian pronunciation though. I'm not clued up on Norwegian regional dialect, but for all I know, learning Norwegian from a Bergen boy might be like learning to speak English from a Geordie.

Deicide

I think it's just like it sounds: D-I-SIDE

That's just my guess though...

[deliverance]

dee-ih-side

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Since the 'dei' part comes from deity, I would assume it's pronounced day-is-side.

For some reason, although "deus" (latin for 'god') is pronounced "day-us," the same can't be said about the English word "deity" (pronounced "dee-ih-tee").

Deicide = Dee-ih-syde.

 

[Melodeath]

Deity can be pronounced day-ih--tee or dee-ih--tee

Deicide can be pronounced day-ih-side or dee-ih-side
