So ive got a character with a wonderful tribal name..except I'm not 100% on the pronunciation. Basically I'm asking how you pronounce the L' in front of the name. In this case L'saralia.
I know this seems an odd question..but I cant wrap my brain around it. It doesn't help that ive had people say it three different ways.

On the naming conventions for the wiki stub of Miqo'te it says that the L sound is pronounced as a short "Lee"

So it'd sound like

"Li-saralia".

Or you could use whichever you want! Maybe a "Leh" or "Luh" sound.

From the Miqo'te Naming Convetion thread in the FF:XIV lore forum:

Quote:Pronunciation-wise, other than the tribe pronunciations listed above, names follow common English phonics. Though followed by an apostrophe, the tribe sound is usually flows into the name.

Oâ€™raha would be pronounced â€œo-RA-haâ€ not â€œOH. rahaâ€

For female Sun Seekers, the first letter of their first name is pronounced based the tribal alphabet listed in this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threa...onventions

EDIT: This applies for both genders actually.
