Most systems are easy to pronounce. But, some of them are a bit harder to say. Some people use different ways to get around the pronunciation of the system itself. For example, the first three letters of a system. But, what system have you come across that you just couldn't pronounce at all?

Getrenjesa
Futzchag
Ignebaener
Uosusuokko
Aurohunen
Ylandoki
Hilfhurmur
Eytjangard
Weraroix

There are plenty more but most of them just take a bit of figuring out. They do tend to cause some amusement during fleet roams "align to eyt... uh.. eytjang.... align to out gate".

It's not the hardest, but I mostly deliberately mispronounce Du Annes.

One of ours, ten of theirs.

My native language allows me to pronounce most difficult names, at least in a non-english way.

Kurniainen is one that's easy for me but seems impossible for all the brits, americans, australians etc.
"Futzchag" is tricky.

Anchauttes.

Most people I know have just resorted to calling it "A N C"

I wear my goggles at night.

Any spelling/grammatical errors come complimentary with my typing on a phone

Hothomouh because it's hard to pronounce it any other way besides "hot homo" which I think is intentional.

As a german I find most systems easy to pronounce, for example french and nordic sounding systems.

And as mentioned before most Brits and US citizens i know seem to struggle with systems like Nourvukaiken.
Perhaps because of their limited exposure to foreign languages, with one exception perhaps: spanish.

Pain, because it's a pain to pronounce.

Don't anger the forum gods.

It's spelled Hofjaldgund - anyway pretty easy to pronounce since everyone calls it 'hof' either way...

I always thought that was a 'th' as in 'thorough', making it sound like HO-fo-mooh...

Aside from that, I know exactly how I would pronounce certain of the names. Unfortunately, everyone else seems to have their own personal choices in this as well.

So is it: Djeeh-tah, Yeeh-taw, Djih-tah, Djih-tay, Yeeh-taa, or some pronunciation I've missed?

Ha, expected that! Was pretty funny when I first stumpled upon it, also Reset.

My US alliance buddys pronunce it "Djih-tah", as one would expect it from their standpoint. I myself would tend to a variation like "Djeeh-tah", as it is more fitting with the asian/japanese semblance of system names around it. And "Yeeh-taa" I find is common with german speaking germans.
I prefer my variation, obviously.

Fun fact: Llanfairpwllgwyn used to be called just that. It means 'church by the white pool' or summin'. The whole 'gyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch' part was added in the 19th century to make the train station a tourist attraction for Victorian holidaymakers.

Toon, Mod and Rand - I always end up pronouncing them as Character, GM, and Gevlon. Roll

I used to live nearby too, and I can pronounce it in real life Blink
