Race Pronunciation Guide?

in Questions and Answers
I saw a question along theses lines asked on the Discord, so I’m migrating it here for discussion.

Part of the fun of MUDs is having everyone interpret and imagine things in their own way, but I personally want to make sure I’m pronouncing at least the base components of the game correctly when discussing with friends. 

Could one of the devs/admins share a quick pronunciation guide for the different races and/or any other terms you think people might want to know?

    @Aurelius Thank you!! Mostly as expected, but I was totally off on the W’hoorn and Decheeran.

    Yeah, I had Decheeran as like... de-shear-an.

    And sadly, human not being pronounced as hum-an?

    Nothing says your character doesn't mispronounce the word.

    I personally intend to pronounce human like 'food'.
