I’d pronounce it Cham
I’m Viet so I pronounce it like you would for Nuoc Cham. Yup. I think of dipping sauce every time I see a Cham rune.
Eh, since I’ve had experience with foreign languages, I’ve just grown accustomed to pronouncing it “ch-ahm”. It’s a soft “ch” instead of a hard “k” because there is no other consonant proceding the “m” like there is in the word chasm, which is pronounce “k-a-zuhm”. It’s kind of funny - I have to actively force myself to anglicize American English because I’m so used to seeing foreign words. Having to stop myself from using “ah”, “ee”, “ooh”, “eh”, “oh” in regular English is…frustrating at times.

Yeah, it’s kinda ironic how much Americans knock on Spanish speakers, while half their fricking cities and landmarks have Spanish names. I mean what language do people think the name “Los Angeles” comes from? Lol
BTW it just occurred to me that it needs to be “k” because “chameleon”! Checkmate, atheists
Big… Big bada boom.

Yeah, being from California, many of the cities have Spanish names. San Francisco is a Spanish name lol.
This rune’s name always makes me lulz…
In my country the rune’s name and biblical character share the spelling. The meaning in my native language is also biblically themed, as Cham laughed at Noe (his father) one time when Noe got drunk one night and slept in his tent naked, Cham entered the tent and began what is known as trolling in today’s standards. Hence Cham in my language became a a word to describe a person without a moral spine and or a sociopath, thad tends to behave badly, i.e. finds pleasure in beating women and or treating them badly, trolling or laughing from the fate of poor people litteraly in their faces, etc. kind of rude behavour. Cham beeig a high rune and the chances of it dropping beeing abisymally low, as if it troll’s ppl looking for it… giving it the exact meaning to the rune’s name… XD
I always luled at high rune rune having this name…
I pronounce it “knot-ā-brrrr” rune.
Yea, that’s what happens when you’re Polish. Cham is both the son of Noah and a word for a rude, uneducated rural person. I hear it’s the same in all Slavic languages, particularly Eastern ones. Russians even have the word хамство 
oh I wasn’t jokin’ about the game being named after a mountain. Dave mentions it in this video I believe.
