Closed Ruairi is pronounced Rory
Comments
people starting off by saying "I found it funny" to mask how triggered they are to the point they have to start a thread about it.
You are correct. The Correct pronunciation of the Gaelic Name Ruairi still has the 'ah' sound in the middle of it.
It is not "Ror-Ry", its more like "Rua-ry" or "Roo-ry".
"Rory" is actually the Anglicization of the Gaelic word Ruairi.
Anglicization: Giving it English characteristics to words of a foreign words, names and phrases to make them easier to spell, pronounce, or understand in English.
This, I get bit of weird accent from talking (due to being deaf in real life) but I still pronounce it kinda like rua-ry, so...
@Rhey
Step 1: Get an axe weapon
Step 2: Find the nearest tree
Step 3: Hit it until it dies a little inside
Step 4: Grab the wood of the tree you just abused
Step 5: Build a campfire
Step 6: Set the town on fire so that everyone would be too sufficiently distracted to notice you have 1789452316 pieces of flashy clothing
Step 7: Profit >:D
You dug up a potato, but it crumbled in your hands.
A crumbling potato named Rhey. Rhey, why did you not tell me this? I could have gone to a different patch.

루에리 sounded out is "R-oo-ae-ree".
Take that however you'd like.
There there.
Yeah it's similar to katakana.
Lets not forget that even though it's an anime game that it's based off of Celtic mythology.
Both pretty sure it's both.
This is like learning how "Math" dungeon is actually pronounced.
Or that "Pihne" is more like fee-nay.
Or that "Samhain" is "sah-WIN"!
How about Sidhe Finnachaid?
I've been pronouncing it like "Shee Pinaha", since I was told a while back the "Sidhe" is pronounced kinda like "shee" and "Pinaha" because... that's kinda how it was phonetically pronounced in the KR version.
Don't forget Caswyn is pronounced Ka-zoo-win too!!
so this is tarlach caswyn?
