For like two years, I used to call Burthorpe "Burthrope". Same thing with Ardougne, Karamja and Myreque, although I'm not really sure if I was saying that last one wrong.

Is it possible for Jagex to just make names that aren't so complicated?

Perhaps they should release a pronunciation guide.

I remember a little while back they had a post about how to pronounce things, probably where this topic stemmed from. I wonder if it's still around?

There was a postbag or something a while back that said how to pronounce a lot of things [/c

I always used to pronounce two names wrong: (Are-dunj) and (Karm-aja) lol

Burthrope sound a lot better than Burthorpe, before one postbag came out I didn't know how to say Ardougne. I also called Karamja "Kara-manja". I would also call Phasmatys "Phantasmis" which kind of sounds like the Portuguese word for ghost.

Like everyone else, I have my own ways of saying the places of Runescape, and I think I am going to keep my saying, but from that I know that almost all of my says are going to be wrong, but looking them, then memorizing them will just be harder, I think at least.

For like two years I did not know PKer was "peekayer" so I just read it like the word "picker," after I learned what PKing was I realised it

Davo · **Posted:** November 15th, 2009, 3:26 pm

I used to say Burthrope as well. lol

A few more of mine:

I used to say Kara-jama for Karamja for the longest time. (I heard someone say "Kara-muh-jar" and I pretty much lost it. XD

Ardougne used to be Are-dung. Still sort of is to me..

I still call it "Bar-rows" not "Bare-rows."

Guthan as in one of the 6 brothers is and always will be "Guh-thin" and not "Goo-than" to me.
One of my friends says Dharok "Dee-horks" It's hilarious.

Back when I first started I saw everyone in Varrock saying "Ty." I didn't know what it meant so I was like who the hell is this Ty person? hahah

That's all I can think of for right now.

I pronounce ardoughne, ar-doughn. It just makes sense to me that way. And I always used to say killiminjaro for Karamja. Even though it was clearly not the right way to say it. Herbs are also mispronounced a lot. Especially ranaar, which I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce.
