Try to Pronounce Species Names!

Ok. So Creatures.

Some are almost impossible to pronounce.

So I made this.

Pick a random species in EggCave and write your version of the pronunciation.

ex.) Luh-Vun


I'll start.

Ee-Bree-Dee
(Ibridi)


Just random pings to start off

@moonflower
I'm going to start with one of your suggestions!
Vaneqi. I pronounce it similar to the word vanity. VAN-neh-kee.

Paroxy

pa-rox-i

Koleda
I pronounce Ko-Lee-Day

Psychiro
I pronounce Sy-Care-Oh

Kisagi
I always just automatically add an 'n' in there for some reason, so I'm always saying Kiss-Ang-E

(SO MANY I have no clue how to pronounce or am probably pronouncing way wrong...)
(How do you all pronounce Wynerl? 'Cause I feel tongue-twisted whenever I try to say it outloud! Why-Nerl (rhymes with girl), or Win-Earl, or....)

@heatherm19 For Wynerl I go with your first option. Why-Nerl.

One of those where my bilingualism doesn't butt in too much.

Glaciskal on the other hand... Nope.

Glas-i-skal? Glas-is-kal? Glace-iskal?? Gla-ciskal??? Help. XD

@heatherm19
Oh, the Psychiro's species name is actually pronounced as Psy-Shee-Row!
Although you can also pronounce it however you want too :>

-Said by one of the creators of the creature itself

Tatrsus

I personally prounounce it

Tat-sruss but it’s probably more like tat-er-sus

Aosidhe has always confused me, the archives say 'ays-shee' but that makes no sense to me lol. is "ays" like "ace"? or "eyes"? and I simply cannot see it like that. my brain generates something like "ayo-sid-hee" D:

another one I can't do is Arnmnae. I want to pronounce all those consonants so it sounds like "arnuhmuhnae" which is so silly lmao
