Damn, I've gaslit myself with the movie pronunciation that I forgot how high school me would've pronounced. Maybe back then I was just giddy to see a book I loved reading on the silver screen.

Poles: Hold my wódka

I'm French Canadian and we used to read Archie as a bathroom rag and I'd rather not say how I pronounce Jughead and Weatherbee even still to this day.
On another note I remember being happily surprised Drizzt had a cameo in the original Baldur's Gate ii game. My friend said you could scum save and roll stealing his very powerful swords. Never took the time to do it though (wasn't a thief).

You're just an airsick lowlander

zhu'khei?

I can't even speculate on Weatherbee haha.

No such problems, when your native language uses phonetic alphabet! Is the pronounciation like the author intended then? Likely not, but you can still pronounce every word, without having to think.

Harkonnen?

I was like this with 'aes sedai' in Wheel of Time. Apparently the 'aes' is meant to be pronounced as "eyez", but for me it's "ace" 🤷

Apparently her name came from Guinevere from the legends of King Arthur (also al'Thor = Arthur)

yea

haha I'm the same with Hungarian :) Finno-Ugric high five!

I really appreciated Christopher Paolini including dictionaries in the backs of his books.

Let go of ma buddy Drizzle Fo'Shizzle!
