	Log in to remove this sponsored message I pronounce Balamb the same way as OccultFan. Ba-lam-b. I can see why the final b could be silent, but it's just more natural for me to pronounce it.

	quote chelskiman When ever I see the word Balamb I think of sheep cause lambs make a BAHHH sound That is the sound I use XD Balamb- Baah-lom (The last b is silent for me) quote Lone Warrior Thrustaevis = Thrust-ey-viss for me. That is how I say it as well. Makes the most sense to me (gah) Lucrecia - Loo-cre-see-uh -------------------

	quote Lucrecia Wait! How do people pronounce 'Balamb'?? I keep the 'b' silent! Like in FFVII I always pronounced Midgar as Migar! Easier to say! I don;t do that anymore though since voice actors came into the mix! I always keep the B silent, too: Ba-Lam. And I always used to pronounce the G twice in Midgar, as Midge-gar. No idea why. XD Chelski, I never noticed that before, either. Perhaps it has a poetic meaning. Cid started to follow his dreams, but ended up like a sheep, following NORG blindly and allowing SeeD to change .... ------------------- Make friends with pain, and you'll have a friend for life.

	You know, people always pronounce Nibelheim wrong. I pronounce it: Nibble-hime. Most of my friends call it: Nibble-heem. Or something like that. There's also the debate of Kjata. I pronounce it: Kidg-ah-ta. My friends say: Kyah-ta, Like it's Spanish or something. I pronounce Midgar just as it is spelled: Mid-gar. ------------------- <--Boktai-->

	Kjata = 'kid-jat-ah' quote Lucrecia I have never noticed that before... Ba .... and lamb? Was it gonna be an acadamy for sheep or something?? I actually noticed the same, only I pronounce it 'Blab-a-lab-a-bam'.

	Nibelheim - Ni-bel-hime Kjata - Not really sure on that. Key-ata looks like the most interesting way to pronounce it.

	How come you say Nibble Game Master? We alwas thought it was neebelhime as for pronounciation... Since there is only one b in Nibelheim. Kjata is... erm... kjata for us! Though the j has different sounds in different languages of course... Balamb to us is Bahlam-b, we do sort of pronounce the b but it is really a soft b. ------------------- All credits to Vulcan for the Siggy, thanks man!!!

	I always pronounced Ixion: Ix-e-on. @TWINTEN - I say nibble because thats how it sounds when I say it. Otherwise it ends up like Nigh-bel-hime. Or something strange. GameMaster? God no, GameAce is just fine. >.< ------------------- <--Boktai-->

	I've always pronounced as follows: Ixion: Ix-ee-on Nibelheim: Nigh-bel-heem Kjata: Ka-jah-ta However, since Ixion is of ancient Greek origin, it probably is pronounced like Lone said. ------------------- If you want to get out alive, run for your life.
