Because nobody ever reads the names aloud, and the words are made up, I was wondering how everybody pronounced the names of sylestis. Heres a list of how I pronounce them, as an example:
Aeridini (Are-Dee-Knee Im pretty sure I pronounce this wrong, haha)
Aurleon (Or-Lee-On)
Bulbori (Bulb-Or-EE)
Draeyl (Dray-(like prey)Ull (like dull))
Faelora (Fay-(like bay)Lore-Uh)
Ferrikki (Fair-icky)
Griffi (Grif-(like sift)EE)
Kelpari (Kelp-Are-EE)
Lighira (Lie-Gear-Uh)
Luffox (Luff-(like buff)Fox
Lunemara (Loon-Mar-(like far)Uh)
Lupora (Loop-Or-Uh)
Morkko (More-Ko (like so)
Nephini (Neff-(like deaf)EE-Knee
Nyvene (Ni (like lie)Veen(like Seen)
Nytekrie (Night-EE-Kree(like bee)
Puffadore (Puff(like buff)Adore)
Qitari (Kwee-tar-EE)
Ryori (Rye-Or-EE)
Sylvorpa (Sly-Vor(like boar)Puh(like Uh)) (I have no clue why I say Sly in this one. Its syl, I guess my brain just was messing with me :P)
Vulnyx (Vull-(like poll)Nix(like tricks))
Zolnixi (Zol-(like poll)Nix-(like tricks)EE)
Thats everyone! How do you like to pronounce the names of these sylestis?

Apparently, once upon a time, Faiona had recorded audio clips of the "official" pronunciation. But those links don't work anymore, so we're kind of left to our own devices, I guess.
Mine are probably kind of weird ._.
I think of them as...
ay-ur-IH-dih-nee
OUR-lee-on
bul-BOR-ee
DRAY-ull
fay-LORE-uh
FER-rick-kee
GRIFF-ee
kel-PAR-ee
lai-GEER-uh
LUFF-ux
loo-ne-MAR-uh
loo-POR-uh
MORE-ko
neph-EE-nee
NAI-veen
NAI-teh-kree
PUFF-uh-door
kee-TAR-ee
RYO-ree (with the "ryo" as all one syllable)
sihl-VOR-puh
VUL-nix
zol-NIX-ee

Pretty similarly to Somneli's list, but with a couple exceptions.
Aeridini - AIRY-dee-nee
Bulbori - bul-bor-ee
Lighira - LIE-here-uh (I'm assuming the G is silent, like in Light)
Qitari - kih-TAR-ee
Ryori re-YOR-ee

Hey Krin, how do you officially pronounce all the Sylesti names?
This is the post that had the sound clips that no longer work. :-(

It looks like Sum18mymuffin edited their post, though, to reflect the correct pronunciation.
At any rate, it is a fun read to see how different some of them are.
