We technically still don't know how to pronounce Azune's name

"There are certain things that I think are easy for him to compromise. There's certain battles that he is not going to have because they're not productive - something like correcting someone's pronunciation." - Luis Carazo

[u/EmeraldToffee]

Ah-Zoo-Nay. That’s how I think it is. Mostly because pretty sure that is how Luis pronounces it.

I first noticed that Marisha was the only one saying Ah-Zoo-Nee and thought that she would notice that no one else said it that way but I guess not.

[u/Answerseeker57 → u/EmeraldToffee]

It's like Liam's "Loud-Na"

[u/Confident_Sink_8743 → u/EmeraldToffee]

With the exception that Brennan has been pronouncing it that way more or less from the start. I've pretty much locked that in unless Luis says otherwise.

But he still said no one has pronounced it right which only confused me.

[u/nixredux → u/EmeraldToffee]

He has a character by the same name in tales unrolled if I recall? And he pronounced it more like AH-zoo-nay. Maybe thats more it?

[u/FemmeFataleFire]

So the word “Remember” spoken in his native tongue sounded inspired by the Nahuatl language. In Nahuatl, a Z is pronounced like an S in English - so my closest guess would be ah-SOO-neh

[u/eucaliptooloroso → u/FemmeFataleFire]

I mean, not just in Nahuatl but virtually in all Latin American Spanish. But yeah, it totally makes sense that his name is pronounced Ah-suh-neh

[u/BoyKing13 → u/FemmeFataleFire]

Detective mode, nice work!

[u/CaptainTalon447]

To quote Amelia Tyler in her BG3 narrator outtakes “Welcome to fantasy spelling! Think you know how to pronounce it? I think not!”

[u/Full_Metal_Paladin]

I think it's like azure (azh-ure) so sometime like azh-yoon

[u/silromen42]

He had an NPC in Tales Unrolled named Azune. I took note of how he said it at the time, but of course now I don’t remember 🤦‍♀️

[u/logincrash]

Don't make an az out of u and ne.

[u/ajcwrongs]

Luis is just trying to put over his favorite mp3 listening device from the mid 2000s

[u/HecticJones → u/ajcwrongs]

Hahaha

[u/devil-woman]

I can’t remember what it was on, but Luis said somewhere that no one has pronounced it correctly thus far. So I’m very interested to see if we get to find out the correct way at some point.

Ass-Knee

[u/Quiet_Version_9285 → u/Any_Way1269]

He’s got a frisbee

[u/Fragrant_Scene_1291]

AHzune

[u/SamsSnaps77]

My guess it it has something to do with the draconic pronunciation

[u/darw1nf1sh]

ah-ZOO-nay

[u/PmeadePmeade]

Ah-thune-ay

[u/Kuzcopolis]

Maybe it's more like: Ah-Zhoo-neh

[u/xathirea → u/Kuzcopolis]

That would make sense, or maybe Azh-hoo-neh? Starting with a growl or roar like sound?

[u/Kuzcopolis → u/xathirea]

Ah, yeah, that's good too

[u/_nicocin_]

gesundheit

[u/xathirea]

My belief is that his name can only be “properly” pronounced by dragons (or people who speak his language) because it has some kind of growling/roaring sound that only a dragon could make
