Lacostian:
La-Kos-Ti-An (a as in as, o as in top, i as in if, as usual. Welcome to spanish pronnouciation rules. Surprisingly, we have only one sound for each vowel!) Accent goes in Kos.
Ialie:
I-A-Li with accent on the A.
I am starting to think that if I met many of you ooc, you wouldn't know who was I talking about when I pronnounced your names.

lah - gah - toe = Lagato (no, I didn't steal that from Trigun! Quit F*in' asking me that!)

A - vain = Avayn.

Mah - rah = Mara.

You mean there's really a meaningful book of English pronunciation rules? You'd probably have more luck learning Gaelic, German, French, and Latin, then just figuring out which language we swiped the word from.

As for Lacostian, I had seriously thought it was Lac-o-sti-an.

I always thought Manjanaia was sombodies sad joke, thought it was meant to be Man-gina, a derogatory term. But since nobody commented in game about it when I first saw him walking about I knew I was wrong but I still get a laugh when I see the name.
