While we wait for the BJSC 132 results to take place later this evening, I thought I would pick up on a running conversation some of us were having during the listenthrough earlier in the week. The question is how to correctly pronounce your country name.
Having found a free and easy to use “Text to Speech” website, I was able to get a correct pronunciation of my country name; Zanmatony [zan-matt-oh-ny] I also checked the pronunciation of the current host, Danæviia [Dan-eye-via] Have a go at entering your country name into this search box and see if the pronunciation is what you expected it to be; https://wideo.co/text-to-speech/ |

They pronounced Rolloland correctly. It's Rollo rhyming with Hollow, not like Rolo chocolates.

Beaver, like the animal, and donia, as in a land made of dough, pronounced, doe-knee-ah

I've always pronounced mine Flow-ta-veek, I think that is right but I'm not 100% sure.

I feel like mine is pretty simple, but: All-tear (as in that which you cry) Mew-knee-Linst.
The speech thing seems to go for: Al-tear (as in to rip something) Moo-knee-linst which is very wrong. |

The text to speech said mine sort of correctly although slightly weirdly (too much emphasis on 'seph' and not enough on 'ni'). At least it didn't say 'phone'. x (edit: actually after replaying it it kind of does say 'phone', I take that back)
(it gets it right if you put in 'Persephone a' instead xx) |

The German voice on that is closest to how it is pronounced with the exception that the R in Áskorza is a tapped R, as in Scottish English, but otherwise it’s fairly good

The Greek woman (I'm assuming it was meant to be Greek) was the closest for mine: cad-a-lee-see-ya

The website does mine almost correctly if it wasn't for the mispronounced Ü.
It's Vool-kee-ree-ah not Voll-kee-ree-ah. |
