In an amount of ways, it'd be easier to have a pronunciation-version of the word next to it
. Can do that myself before saying words, of course--as long as I don't misread. Generally, the pronunciation doesn't seem too hard so far. Only thing I'm not certain of is the sharp "R" you mention. Think I have it, though, so I'll try it out and send you a sentence or two, when I get back from work (unless I get to feel too sick).
You want me to do the words listed on the original post, or some of the ones in that quote, just wondering (I assume the former)? Will also have to do those orc voices--put it off for the sake of my voice-box.
EDIT: Got back, was feeling pretty sick, so I mightn't get to do it right now, sorry
! I'll try if the opportunity arises. I'll just try my hand at the pronunciation in written form, to see ahead of time how well I understand.
o = o ((not "oh")) as in "not" or "yacht".
a = ah
e = e ((not "ee")) as in "let" or "met".
i = ee. OR i as in "lip"??
u = oo
I recall some Russian, now, so I think I know the type of R you mean.
k = sharp c, got it.
"á,ú,é,í,ó - long versions of the vowels described before. "š" is "sh" as in "shoe"." Might take some practice to get it how you want it, but I should manage.
Like Jehova. y or i.
h silent or half-silent.
Sort of a "tyah" almost? Might need the audio examples for that. Either way, I'll need something for the accent and speech patterns, to get them correct. The movies seemed to do it well, but the Haradrim didn't have a lot of lines.
"Odum vebiganu heiná-e-skuthi!" - "Destroy the weak enemies!" (You - destroy - enemy - weak)
"o-doom ve-bee-gah-noo he-ee-naah - e - scoo-t~h~ee"
Something like that, I'd guess. That's also pretty confusing, though xD. Let's try saying it... I can get the words, but putting them together into the sentence properly will be difficult. I can probably say each word individually then edit them together, for the meantime (if it works that way).
For now, though, need to concentrate on orcs, and work on this on the side. Let's try some more.
"Abí hamerúm!" - "To battle!" (Towards - battle)
ah-beee hah-me-Rooom
Like that?
"Odum vermajál otí verthaba av daranaja-e-jatánus!" - "Kill and burn for sorcerer's gold!" (You - kill - and - burn - for - gold - of sorcerer)
o-doom ve-R-mah-jaahl o-teee ve-R-t~h~ah-bah ahv dah-Rahn-ah-jah - e - jah-taahn-oos
I can get the words relatively well, with practice, assuming I haven't messed up the pronunciation versions. Want these recorded, when I can get around to it?
