My thoughts about pronunciation:

Y /i/, /j/, /[ʲ/, /ʲj/
J /j/, /[ʲ/, /ʲj/
Q /kʷ/
C = K /k/
CC = KK = CK = KC /kː/
CH = KH /x/
H /h/
T /t/
TH /θ/
TT /tː/
P /p/
PH = F /f/
PP /pː/

Qûya /kʷuːja/
Cironj /kironʲ/ or /kiroɲ/
Nenciphon /nenkifon/
Sarcellus /sarkelːus/
Chiki /xiki/ or /çiki/
It appears you and Triskele have the same, more technical, approach, which I find completely incomprehensible :P

as a someone teaching philosophy, it's embarrassing to discuss Augustine or Neitzsche and be condemned to say "wheel" when what i mean is "will"  :(

Language is an imprecise art. You shouldn't be embarrassed. Truly what is embarrassing is being a a university and there being people who do not recognize that people come from different places/backgrounds and pronunciation varies largely.

Hmm. Imperial "Sike"  terse and monosyllabic sounds kind of silly to me.  I add a sorta... glottal stop I guess.  Imperial Sa'ik with two syllables sounds much better to me. :-[

 I've always pronounced Cishaurim with a hard k.  I figue; if they are the tribe of the Indara-Kishauri then Kishauri is the Kiannic root of Cishaurim.  Whatever,  I know nothing about Kianni/Sheyic linguistic translation conventions.  :P  So it may be complete bunk.

I say Sarcellus with a soft s.  Sarsellus(sic).  In all my study of Roman history and interacting with the academia therein, I've never heard Marcus Claudius Marcellus pronounced; "Markellus."

It's only the c(s) k(s) and s(s) that really screw me up with this series.  I can usually wrap my mouth around everything else.

Although for fuck's sake.  The capital of Conriya. Aöknyssus.  What.  I just skip right over it every time.  I have no idea.

Thats pretty close to what I was suggesting, though I added an imaginary 'a' between kn. This is better.

This is a super old thread but anyway... I'm Scottish so whenever there is a word that has "ch" in the middle or end, I pronounce it in the same way we pronounce loch. It's not really something I can spell out but it's a slightly guttural burr. So when I read Achamian I say it as Ach (kind of like "och" but with an a) amy-in.
