« on: June 16, 2006, 12:57:17 am »
Ok, I don't know how to pronounce almost, all the names in PlaneShift. I'll keep posting on which words I want to learn.

How do you pronounce;
Yliakum? Y-Leah-Come

Loto

And Enkidukai: En-key-do-kai
And Ylian: Lee-an
Xacha: Za-cha
Nolthrir: Nol-th-rear
Dermorians: Der-more-re-ans
Lemur: Lee-mur
Ynnwn: I haven't the slightest idea
