I think there is already a Pronunciation thread in existence. So dont be surprised if this gets moved into that thread.

However, i say that name as See - Gel (as in hair gel) Dar - Ray

I always considered General Grievous to be more of a title than a name. Just like all the Darths.

*Grievous has a first name? *

Yup.

Bob.

Seriously, though. He didn't have a first name to go with Grievous, like "Bob Grievous" or anything like that. He had a former name, Qymaen jai Sheelal.

Pretty sure it's VAHL-IN. That's how I pronounce it, anyway.

I think it's pronounced that way, but I'm not sure. The 'z' could be silent. But that would sound kind of weird.

Is Valin pronounced as VAL-IN or VAL-EEN?

Caedus is actually confirmed to be pronounced as
K-EYE-DUHS.

YES! Six years of Latin paid off, I was pronouncing it right from the start!

Anyway, I have no intention of reading through the ENTIRE thread, so even if it has already been answered:

Warlord Zsinj. Anyone have a clue? I've always said "Zinge" (soft g).
