Editing EternalEmpire:Naming Conventions (section)

=== Pronunciation ===

In translating from Arqi into the Latin alphabet, the following conventions are used:

“C” is always hard, pronounced as /k/, never as /s/

“Ch” is an aspirated /k/.

“X” can be either /ks/ or /ch/, but never /z/. The /ks/ phoneme usually appears at the ends of words, while the /ch/ usually appears at the beginning. Consider the female name Xesca (pronounced “Cheska”) versus Hecto Bellorix (Bell-o-ricks), which means Fortress of Agony.

“A” is pronounced both like the “a” in “amp” and “saw”

“Ae” is pronounced like the long “a” sound in “Ace”, but is comparatively rare and found mostly in words of foreign origin.

“E” is almost always pronounced as in “exit”

“I” is usually pronounced as in “bee”, but sometimes as in “if” when marked with a circumflex
“O” is pronounced as in “both”

“Oa” is pronounced as “way”, but is comparatively rare and found mostly in words of foreign origin.

“U” is primarily pronounced as in “super”, but sometimes as in “umpire”
 
“Y” is never pronounced like “yester” but rather as a long “I” sound.
