Actual pronunciation rules for Sea Wolf names (aka their funny conlang):
- If you're a native English speaker, your first guess is probably right for the most part. Like seriously that's going to cover the majority of sounds.
- Just gotta find the delineation between the compound words, anyways. Kelthylt is not "kel-theel-t", it's Kelt Hylt (Cold Forest) so it's "kelt-heel-t".
- "y" in a word is pronounced like ee: Lyng (long) would be pronounced "leeng."
- "oe" in a word is pronounced like oo: Loef (leaf) would be pronounced "loof."
- "w" in a word should actually straddle the english V and W sounds, but that's weird so if the voice actors don't have to do it we don't either.
This does mean that strictly speaking, Roegadyn is pronounced "roo-gah-deen."
My experience in roe linkshells is people like to bring it up, nod, and then continue saying "roh-gah-din" unless they're thinking about it. We were using it for puns.
