Tara (not Tailteann). Wot is thy say ?
Poll-Options. Basically... some say «Poh-Tay-Toe» and some say «Poh-Tah-Toe»
(History of why in the world this thread may have come about in Spoiler)
Edit: Forgot to add this in during original posting. I basically made a joke about being on some space-ship when a contact inquired as to whether I was there or not (gotta have aliens after all). Then I managed to some how «escape» and make my way out of that said space-ship. Dude needed to know where i was, then I responded that I was at Stone-Henge... more specifically... Tara's Stone-Henges. Then it got me to wondering who this «Tara» possible NPC might be to whom the city must have been named after (granted I didn't think to go talk to very NPC about Tara's city history to find out). And I was reminded of a former class-mate whose name was Tara but half of the class pronounced her name one way whilst the other half used the other way (if I remember correctly). She was the only «Tara» I had ever come across in my life so for me, personally, the name is not particularly common... even though short-letter names shouldn't necessarily be particularly rare... probably. I thought to ask around about Tara (the city for the Aleich kingdom) and then the various pronunciations of her name came to mind for some reason...
Although I can't change the last option now I probably should have put there....: «What's the difference between pronouncing "Rah" and "Ruh" ? O_O»
Comments
In the case of the Tara (location) in game, that would be going by the Irish pronunciation, which I recall sounds kind of like "Tah/tuh-ruh" but the "uh" sounds closer to an "ah" rather than the "uhhhhhhhh" sound made in American English.
...If that makes any sense. Probably best to consult an Irish speaker on that.
Oh, hey. Now thinking about it, there's a K-Pop group called T-ara (tiara). Tee-air-uh, Tee-ah-rah - however you choose to pronounce that. <_>
