Re: How do you pronounce the races?
Amonkrie = A-mon-kree
Xiati = Xee-ah-tee
Piundon = Pee-uhn-dun
Sallega = Sal-egg-uh
Norak = Nor-ack
Sergetti = Sir-gett-ee
Drushocka = Drew-shoke-ah
XiChung = Xee-Chung
Fazrah = Faz-ruh
Toltayan = Tol-tay-uhn
Jraenar = Tough one. "Jr" as a single sound, almost as if you're saying "Shhh" only with more of a Z sound than an S. So:
J-reh-nar

Re: How do you pronounce the races?
Mostly I pronounce all races like others. Except Jraenar.
In Poland "J" is pronounced like "Y". So
Jraenar = Yra-enar

Re: How do you pronounce the races?
Jraenar- I've always assumed the J was silent because it was followed by a consenant. Not for any particular reason but RAY-nar.

Re: How do you pronounce the races?
"Ur" is not the same as "Err." It's Oor, with an "oo" sound. Duh
