Asperity he/him Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Just want to ask how to pronounce some words properly. I've been saying Galladon as "Galla-don" instead of "Gull-ah-don" (think "Aladdin") Heod as "Hoe-ed" and Reod as "Ree-odd" and Shaod as "Sha-odd"? Are any of these pronunciations correct?

Voidus Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Brandon isn't really a stickler for pronunciation most of the time the only one I can correct is Galladon = Gall-ah-dawn from http://www.brandonsanderson.com/book/Elantris/page/40/Elantris-Pronunciation-Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Feesh Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Brandon isn't really a stickler for pronunciation most of the time the only one I can correct is Galladon = Gall-ah-dawn from http://www.brandonsanderson.com/book/Elantris/page/40/Elantris-Pronunciation-Guide Yeah, he's actually stated that he mis-pronounces his own creations, because the correct pronunciation sounds odd in english. Elantris for example is pronounced 'Ee-layn-triss', and Sarene is I think 'Sah-ree-nee' (correct me if I'm wrong). I think I was using the same pronunciation as yourself Kythis, apart from Shaod, which I pronounced 'Shay-odd'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaring at the Survivor he/him Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Sarene: Sah-reen Galladon: Gall-o-don/Gall-o-dawn Elantris: Ee-lan-triss Thats how I say them, because I don't know how.

RavenclawWill73 he/him Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I say them similar to you guys, I don't like sa-ree-nee, I said it like serene. I say galladon, gal-a-don, and hoed, and shaod the same as señor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Yasha she/her Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Well I've been pronouncing "Vin" as the French form for wine ("vahn") until I found out that was wrong. I still pronounce it my way though. I'm not the best to have an opinion on pronunciations Edited October 23, 2012 by Lyrebon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
