I've always read the Sylesti species' names a certain way in my head, and I'm curious about how other Sylestians read them. Comments with your own pronunciations are appreciated. And if the creators see this, I'd be curious to know what their intentions for the pronunciations were.
For me they are pronounced like the following:
Aeridini
[air-rih-DEE-nee] (air like in stair)
Aurleon
[OUR-lee-awn] or [AHR-lee-awn] (awn like in lawn)
Bulbori
[bull-BOHR-ee] (bull like the animal)
Draeyl
[DRAY-yull] or [DRAYL]
Faelora
[fay-LOHR-uh]
Ferrikki
[fayr-REEK-kee] (fayr like in ferret)
Griffi
[GRIH-fee]
Kelpari
[kell-PAHR-ee] or [kelp-AHR-ee]
Lighira
[LY-ruh] or [LY-UR-ah
(I've questioned this one for a long time. I think it might be pronounced "lee-ur-ah" instead of "ly-ur-ah".)
Luffox
[LUFF-ux] or [LUFF-ox]
Lunemara
[loo-neh-MAH-ruh]
Lupora
[loo-POHR-rah]
(This is the one that made me question my pronunciations; I think a lot of people might pronounce it "luhp" instead of "loop")
Morkko
[MOHR-koh]
Nephini
[neh-FEE-nee]
Ny'vene
[nuh-VEEN], [nih-VEEN] or [NY-veen]
Nytekrie
[nih-TECK-ree] or [ny-TECK-ree]
Puffadore
[PUFF-uh-dohr]
Qitari
[kih-TAHR-ee]
Ryori
[ry-YOHR-ee] or [ree-YOHR-ee]
Vulnyx
[vull-NIX] or [VULL-nix]
Sylvorpa
[sill-VOHRP-ah]
Zolnixi
[zohl-NIX-ee]
I live in the southeastern United States, which might affect my pronunciation. Interested to hear other people's pronunciations and comments.
I pronounce Lunemara as it looks (Lune-Mara)
I also pronounce Luffox as it looks (Luf-fox)
but other than that, yeah the others are dead on the way I pronounce them

The only ones I pronounce differently than you are these:
. Aurleon [OAR-lee-awn]
. Bulbori [BULB-or-ee] (as in lightbulb)
. Nyvene [NI-veen] (as in night)
. Nytekrie [NITE-kree] (as in night)
. Lighira [Li-HERE-uh]

Yeah, I always figured that the pronunciation changed a little in "nytes" because it's like, a nickname/slang for nytekrie?

My profound Irish-ness has resulted in me trying to give the "gh" in Lighira the Gaelic-typical way. Whoops.
