No , seriously; The correct way to pronounce character names HERE

Shaco = Shay-co (Not SHACK-O) Udyr = **Oo-deer ** (Not UTTER) Nidalee = Nid - ah - lee (Not NEEDLE-E) Nasus = Nah-sus , even Renekton says it that way Akali = **Ah-kah-lee **

How do people even get these wrong? they're pretty obvious...

A legitimately difficult one; Xin Zhao = Ching Jao (Not Sin - Zau)

Or, maybe, you know, cultural differences?

There is no ultimate right way to pronounce stuff. English is different in the US, in England, in Australia, etc.

French people will say Le Blan, while every english speaker will pronounce the C at the end, which should be silent.

Also, if we wanna really get into it, the "correct" pronounciation for Sejuani would be Se-yu-anee, not Se-ju-anee. Just like Freljord. No one says Frel-jord, and that is because the J is a vowel, just like in Finnish.

I am Brazillian and will continue to pronounce it as Shack-o, because Shay-co makes absolutely no sense in latin-derived languages.

I've never heard anyone say Udyr as Utter. I've always said oo dir, but I can get used to saying "Oh, Dear" whenever I see him running at me in the future.

And I've always done Shaco like Wacko. It's up there with calling Xin Zhao "Win Now".

The weirdest one people get wrong is Vi, like you can just listen to the song.

Weathered1/11/2016, 1:56:01 AM1 votes

Vi? (vie or vee)

Taric? (tare-ic or tar-ic)

Dr. Mundo? (Moon-do or Mun-do)

Veigar? (vie-gar, vee-gar, or vay-gar)

Oh, and Shaco is pronounced Shac-uille O'Neal

Gragas=Grag-is (Not Grog-Us)

Veigar = Vay-gar (Tristana says it and he also says it in his Final Boss skin) Kayle = Kale. Like the vegetable.

Just want to add, it really irritates me when I hear people say Morgana "Morg-ann-uh" instead of "Morg-ah-nah."

master yi = you pronounce "yi" like the first A of "alpha"

Duke Anax1/10/2016, 8:19:59 PM1 votes

most of them should be obvious, but whay Shay-co and not Sha-co.

Also shouldn't it be Shin-Jao? without the "g"?

Is it wrong that I pronounce Udyr = Oo-dier
