PSO pronunciation guide

[WraithAkaMrak]

For me, I really never have to pronounce PSO-related words in real life. Most often, it's in the game itself or on message boards and the like, and the words are always typed. But when PSO Xbox arrives, it will bring voice communication to PSO. And there are just a lot of words in PSO that I really don't know how to pronounce. And maybe nobody (save the developers) knows how they're properly pronounced. I suppose you just try to say it phoenetically. But I'm guessing that there will be a lot of this kind of thing:
"Cool, I just found a _____."
"____? Oh, you mean _____!"
"Is that how you say it?"

Just a few sample words: bhirava, vjaya, aqhu, gifoie, pofuilly.

It would be interesting to see a PSO pronunciation guide online, though I don't know who would go to the effort, and who would set a standard.

I pronounce em like this
Vjaya-vishya
gifoie-g(hard G)ifoe(hard E

others, I dunno leave me a lone.)

[Kupi]

Bhirava: bih - rah - vah
Vjaya: vee - jay - yah
Aqhu: ack
Gifoie: gee (like normal "e" sound) - foy
Pofuilly: poh - f'why - lee

That's how I pronounce them, at least.

[_Sleet_]

I say Gifoie like Gehfooee

[ABDUR101]

Bhirava: bih - rah - vah
Vjaya: V-jai-a
Aqhu: acku
Gifoie: Ge(just a hard G sound)-foi
Pofuilly: poh-fu-i-lee

Thats how I pronounce em.

If possible, give some specific names.

[Kent]

Well, here's how I pronounce these things:

Bhirava: bih-ra-vuh

Vjaya: (v)zhA-yah (the 'v' is really quiet, almost silent, but it's still there)

Foie: fOh-ee

Zonde: zon-day

Gi-(mid level technique): guy

Orotiagito: Oh-roh-tee-A-gee-toh (yes, that's the correct spelling and pronunciation, some people just can't get it right for some reason)

Aqhu: Ak-hoo

Pofuilly: pOh-f`whil-ee

Any questions on how to pronounce anything else?

[WraithAkaMrak]

HUnewearl: (hue)n whirl
FOnewearl: phone whirl

?

[KouHotaru]

Anyone fluent in sanskrit (for the mags) hanging arround? ^.-

[BlackCanaryOfDeath]

how do you say "dacci"

[Kalbelgarion]

bhirava: Bur-ra-va
vjaya: Jay-ah
aqhu: Ak-oo
gifoie: Ji-Foy
pofuilly: Slime thing
Noah: Lutz (Whoops! Nevermind...)
Zonde: Z-ah-nd
HUnewearl: Hue-new-earl
FOnewearl: Foh-new-earl
Dacci: Da-si
Barta: Bar-tah

Yes, with voice communication, this ought to be fun. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Alielle]

I use something close to the Japanese pronunciations, which are more or less accurate (hell, they made the game). So, gifoie would be (hard g) "gee-foi-eh", and zonde is "zon-deh," for example. Some weapons and mags are a little harder, but that's when I use phonics or something.

[Maelkith]

for vjaya I always use a scandinavian pronunciation. in those languages the j becomes a hard H sound. that would make the pronunciation "vee eye'ah"

[BlackRose]

How 'bout "FOnewm"?

[Ophelia]

Here's how I've always pronounced these:

HUmar: HYU-mar
HUnewearl: HYU-noo-WIRL
HUcast: HYU-cast
HUcaseal: HYU-ca-SEEL

RAmar: RAY-mar
RAmarl: RAY-marl
RAcast: RAY-cast
RAcaseal: RAY-ca-SEEL

FOmar: FOH-mar
FOmarl: FOH-marl
FOnewm: FOH-noom
FOnewearl: FOH-noo-WIRL

Bhirava: bee-RAH-vah
Vjaya: vee-JAI-uh (naughty naughty...)
Aqhu: ah-KWU
Gifoie: GUY-foy
Zonde: ZOND
Pofuilly: poh-FWIL-lee

Hope this helps somewhat.

well i got a differnt view on a few of those http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

RAmar- (rah-mar)
RAmarl- (rah-marL)
RAcast- (rah-cast)
RAcaseal- (rah-cas-sEal)

Bhirava: (bih-rah-ava)
Vjaya: (vih-jAy-ya)
Aqhu: (ack-hU)
Gifoie: (jih-fOh)

well there ya have it, a southern interpretation on PSO lingo

[MajinSSJVegetto]

I say them pretty much like Foggy_Pete said.

[Kalbelgarion]

The classes:

RAmar: Rah-marr
RAmarl: Rah-marul
RAcast: Rah-cast
RAcaseal: Rah-cass-seal

HUmar: Hue-marr
HUnewearl: Hue-new-earl
HUcast: Hue-cast
HUcaseal: Hue-cass-seal

FOmar: Foe-marr
FOmarl: Foe-marul
FOnewm: Foe-new-men
FOnewearl: Foe-new-earl

(And, of course, my way is 110% correct. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif)

[SuperSubZero]

Why do you do the O in FO and the U in HU as long vowels but the A in RA is short? I usually say Ray-caseal and Ray-mar and Ray-cast.
