Justicar Pronounciation

[Orange Joe]

Though I realised what you were talking about, I did lol at jew-sticker. You do know Scholomance has an N though right?

I pronounce Xuen kinda like shoo-en, cause a friend named Xin is "Shin", I don't know if that's mandarin or cantonese though cause I'm pig ignorant. Everyone seems to pronounce the X's as Z's, they might be right. Either way he would get mad if I start calling him Zin.

I know a Xong

That's definitely not how it's supposed to be pronounced.

Trying to remember if it's "Justice-E-er" as well. Went by really fast. I know it was something with "Justice" in it...

I'm a justice-er! I go around justice-ing things!

In English it should be pronounced "JUST-i-KAR". Well, you could shift the emphasis around the word depending on your accent but the "c" is definitely hard.

If you wanted an authentic Latin pronunciation it'd be something like "YOOST-i-Kar" I think.

Kinda like quilen. It's a good thing i've never said justicar out loud.

Not really. Quilen is the English form of a Chinese word so it uses that weird Chinese-to-English transliteration where "q" stands for "ch" or something. Justicar on the other hand is a regular word of Latin origin.

Although I'm not sure what a "justicar" actually is, "justiciar" is an antiquated word for a political office but it seems the scifi/fantasy crowd has appropriated the word, slightly misspelled "justicar". Kind of like how we got "paladin" from the Latin "palatinus" (high ranking official in the Roman Empire, later a high ranking knight/member of the nobility in medieval courts).

If we consider Pandarian names to be derived from real-world Mandarin and its pinyin romanisation, that's correct. I pronounce shu-en, with the same "u" as "über" (I don't know whether there is any equivalent in English).

English uses that sound (eg, "cruel", "frugal"), and until relatively recently did use diacritical marks, however since the advent of typing they've fallen into disuse. In English the umlaut is actually called a dieresis, but funnily enough the English dieresis is so rare now that native English speakers are more familiar with umlauts (via names of heavy metal bands).

Jus-tick-are

How about:
man-ah or mon-ah?
sko-la-mance or show-la-mance? (heard it both ways)
pan-dare-ee-ah or pan-daar-ee-ah?

jus-tick-ar
man-ah
i actually pronounce it shaw-loh-mance
pandaria pronunciation actually depends on my mood. ive said it either way

Uh, as everyone else understood, i meant that they sound different than they look... good google job, anyhow.

Didn't Blizz state it's officially pronounced "School-o-mance"? So you're all wrong...

Scholars are Schoolers now?

What.
