Hey, everyone, and welcome to another pronunciation guide, but this time, it's for the sequel series: The Atlantis Saga. I'm sure you're going to wonder "wtf was she thinking when she named these people". I thought the same thing when I went back through the pantheon that I had saved. Unfortunately, I already used the names and have grown used to their ridiculousness.
So. Here are some things you need to know before we get to the name/term pronunciations:
Atlanteans like the letter "X". It makes a "Z" sound.
Their "T" is said with the tongue right behind the front teeth. Like in the word "teeth". Creating a strong, sharp "T" sound.
Also, they pronounce things closer to the front of their mouth.
And they have the ever so fun rolling Rs.
So, without further adieu, our Atlantean names/terms/meanings:
