Hello...I am the narrator for "Bladesinger", which is about to become an audiobook. I'm wanting to be as accurate as possible with the pronunciations. Does anyone know how to pronounce these words from "Bladesinger"? Next to each word is my guess of how the word is pronounced. I'd appreciate corrections!

Yulda - YUHL-duh

Hathran - HAETH-raen

Telthor - TEHL-thor

ethran - EH-threhn

dmizny - duh-MIHZ-ny

Erech - EH-retch

Aelrindel - AEL-rihn-dehl

Tel' Quessir - tehl KWEH-sir

laeriaen - LAE-ree-uhn

Tael - TAELL

kaer'vaelen - KAIR-vael-un

Cauladra - kawl-LAED-ruh

First off, let me say, thank you for wanting to be correct. Second, don't overthink things too much. Third, take what I say with a grain of salt. Here's my views though

Icerim - AIS-rihm - sounds right

Yulda - YUHL-duh - sounds right

Hathran - HAETH-raen - more simple - Hath-ran

Telthor - TEHL-thor - sounds right

ethran - EH-threhn - sounds right

dmizny - duh-MIHZ-ny - sounds right

Erech - EH-retch - I could be wrong, I've always said Ereck

Aelrindel - AEL-rihn-dehl - sounds right

Tel' Quessir - tehl KWEH-sir - more like tehl KAE-SEER. But get a poll on this as this is a word you don't want to mess up. It's kind of like how some people pronounce drow as DROU (like in cow) and others as DROE (as in row).

laeriaen - LAE-ree-uhn - hmmm, not sure, would have to see the reference... my initial thoughts would be the last part should be AEN

Tael - TAELL - sounds right

kaer'vaelen - KAIR-vael-un - sounds right

Cauladra - kawl-LAED-ruh - I'm thinking kawl-ah-druh
Taen - Tay-ehn - sounds right

Mulptan - MUHLP-taen - I'm thinking Mulp-tehn or Mulp-tan

Borovazk - buh-ROH-vahz - I'm thinking buh-ROH-vask

Nyvarskiz - nih-VAHR-skeez - sounds right





Alavairthae, may your skill prevail
