For the pronunciation guide:
Eldingvegr
Ióni
Sóti
Blaziphane
Nóttsid
Sólsid
Røkkrring
Anthemoessa
ooo okay! so disclaimer: most of these are based off real words from Old Norse (which I've been told is very similar to modern day Icelandic) or Greek myth and I don't know how those words are pronounced irl (sorry to all my Scandinavians & Nordics out there). but since this is a space au set tens of thousands of years in the future we can just pretend my pronunciation is how it naturally developed over time lmao
Eldingvegr - El-ding-vay-gur
Ióni - Ee-oh-nee
Sóti - Soh-tee
Blaziphane - blaze-ih-fayne
Nóttsid - Note-sihd
Sólsid - Soul-sihd
Røkkrring - Ruh-kur-ring (there's a bit of a rolled r for the kur-ring part but idk how to type that phonetically)
Anthemoessa - An-the-moh-es-ah
#the stars and their children#hope this helps!#note i do not know how to write phonetically but i tried my best#ask#anon#pronunciation guide#stars guide

this probably gets asked a lot but i couldnt find it anywhere: how is "arachnixe" pronounced?
The "arach" is pronounced the same way as it is in "arachnid" and the "nixe" is, well, this: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Nixe

Rules for Singing Consonants in English
Some consonants are voiced. Others are voiceless. Some are shaped the same, and are paired together. Others do not have a voiceless counterpart.
'Hard' consonants need to be aspirated/exploded, not imploded- don't swallow them. They should always be attached to the beginning of the next syllable, rather than tacked on at the end. The exception is when you have two in a row (I bought two geese), then you implode the first, explode the second. At the end of the line, the voiced ones must be given a tiny neutral vowel to be heard, and the voiceless must be clearly aspirated. These are (voiced - voiceless):
d - t
b - p
g - k
'Soft' consonants are similarly treated, with the exception of v/f, which is put between two notes on the one that is lower. (Say you love me every waking moment -> Sa - you - lo - vme - ev - ry - wa - king - mom - en - t)
v - f
th (this) - th (thin)
z - s
zh - sh
j - ch
w - wh
y - h* (this is how I pair them, but your mouth shape may differ)
The voiced consonants without a voiceless twin have their own additional rules.
R should be dropped before a consonant or a pause, and only sung before a vowel. Watch out for 'dr' and 'tr' combos, to make sure they don't become 'jr' and 'chr' respectively (such as 'I'd rather' and 'I can't replace'). When an r is dropped, sing the vowel as though you were singing the r, don't cut it short, or the word will feel incomplete (Dear Fellow -> Deah Fellow NOT Defellow).
M and N and NG (going, sing, etc) should be appended to the end of the previous syllable, for slightly less than half its duration. If this is not an option (such as if there is a previous syllable ending in a consonant, or it's the first syllable), it should still be clearly sung and fully voiced, never dropped. When adjacent, they should blend into one another with no extra syllable placed in between. NG should only have the 'n' sound, no hard 'g' (imploded only if needed to clarify between words). (I'm not going to eat my mother's new thing, a mouse -> Imm - no - tgoing - to - ea - tmymm - o - ther - snew - thing - (g)amm - ou - s).
There are two kinds of L's; initial and final. They are exactly what they sound like. Append initials to the next syllable, and finals to the previous. (The ladybug fell literally from the pilot's helicopter -> The - la - dy - bu - gfell - li - te - ral - ly - fromm - the - pi - lo - tshe - li - co - pter)

today in English is ridiculous..
*try to enunciate as clearly as possible:
I can't close the closet door because the clothes are too close.
*now relax and say it like you're talking to a friend...
~do the words in emphasis actually SOUND different?
Imaging trying to learn/ hear/ comprehend/ pronounce this as a language learner!

The Guide To A Proper Pronunciation Guide
The pronunciation guide can be as valuable as gold, or as useless as yesterday’s trash. The guide below will help you develop a pronunciation guide that is useful for all who are behind a microphone.
Step 1 – Use obvious words and phrases when writing your guide. If you start using characters that aren’t in the 26-letter alphabet, you’ve already lost a lot of people. For example, “RON-ski” is a…

Names I use + how to pronounce them (+ a couple origins)
My url:
Xiathiau Myshif
ZEE-uh-THOW MY-shif
("Thow" rhymes with "now")
Alizarin (vampirekin name), a very pretty shade of pinkish-red
AL-iz-AR-rin
(Alizarin Crimson, the colour, is pronounced differently, but this is my name my rules)
Acropora (axolotlkin name), a type of coral
ACK-row-PORE-uh
("Row" as in to row a boat)
Mykonos (dragonkin name), fantasy name generator under ancient Greek names. Apparently it's also a Greek island
MEE-kon-oss
Airashi (Pokémon copinglink name, a ribombee), this came up while I was translating random words into Japanese to make nicknames for my Pokémon. I do not remember what I put in as it only translates to Aira City
I-RASH-ee
(I as in me, myself and I)
Sarziel (angelkin name), fantasy generator name again, under angel names
SAR-zee-ell
Iaxera Thalassa (sirenkin), the only "kinsona" name with first and last name, as I came up with two really good ones and couldn't decide. Fantasy name generator.com under siren names
I-uh-ZE-ruh THA-lass-uh
(The I in Iaxera is stressed, you just can't tell)
Other names I use are Vanilla (catkin) and Aspen (foxkin), however they are somewhat simple / commonplace words so I don't think they need guides

I believe I’ve heard you say in one of your videos that your name is Brian, but the pronunciation of it is French. How do you pronounce your name?
There you go.

i remember one thing i struggled with when playing through the game, besides using my non-gaming potato laptop, was pronouncing some of the unique vocabulary. a lot of it, sadly, came from the fact that there aren't really voices in the game.
but we did get clarification on the word i struggled with the most: zoenet.
꒰ zo - like at the beginning of "zoltar"
e - like at the beginning of "earth"
net - like the whole word "net" ꒱

All righty, folks. Bringing back these backgrounds I originally painted back in August 2020(!), only this time it's the version I didn't post with the titles of all six parts of Sahuldeem. Seems like a good way to both look back at where things started...and where they're about to go.
Part Six is a tricky one. I imagine it comes with a lot of expectations, and I might not meet all of those. For instance, it was never my intention to sit down and rewrite the events of the Clone Wars, so it was treated as a montage in my original script (to be fair, I was still imagining a comic adaptation at that point). We already know what happens during the Clone Wars (well, mostly; I do have a few scenes I've either added/expanded upon or retold with a fresh perspective). I, personally, am much more interested in what happens after the crash and before the war, deep in the catacombs of Geonosis.
So, yes: I'm nervously excited to start wrapping up this saga, and I hope there are people out there who are still looking forward to seeing this through with me. I never would have dreamed I'd write something like this, let alone share it, so I'm pleased and immensely grateful that others have also enjoyed it along the way.
(reminder that this Master Post exists!)
#Inoni Art#Inoni Writes#Sahuldeem#Star Wars#General Grievous backstory#Qymaen jai Sheelal#backgrounds#painting#fanfic#fun to look back at this art#I think it captures each part nicely#I'd JUST finished scripting the whole thing#yet still don't think I knew the scope of what I was working on#because remember I thought it would be a comic#man I really should post some of the original script to compare sometime#that at the pronunciation guide I always promised#and the clan names/etc

every year i wonder how the commentators keep track of how to pronounce everybody's names. there's hundreds of them. do they all know IPA or some other phonetic notation system? do they memorize them, even though some of them they can't have heard many times before the tournament? and how do they find out the pronunciation in the first place? do they have boots on the ground asking the players to record themselves saying their own names and then upload it to a database? important questions.
#i can't be sure they're pronouncing the names correctly...but they've all somehow agreed on the pronunciation#there's coordination. there's gotta be a reference guide of some kind. i want to know how the sausage gets made#ball
