My group and I are having a dispute on what the correct pronunciation of Scholomance is. Some of us believe it is School-o-mance and others believe it is Skull-o-mance.
Can we get a clear verdict on the pronunciation? Would be great. Thanks!

The word originates from the Romanian ÅolomanÅ£Ä, a school of black magic in Transylvanian folklore. This is pronounced (sholo-mahn-sa)

Iāve always read it as sholo, like the last name Schafer. But have also wondered what the correct pronunciation is

Pronunciation was confirmed in ~2005 or 2006 as āSkO-lO-manceā by the developers in one of the April Foolās patch notes. (It was something about putting up a sign or stone saying it.)

I pronounce it Sholomance. Doesnāt matter if itās correct or not as I typically butcher languages anyway.
Read everything like Sean Connery and well, you cant be ridiculed TOO bad.

Iāve always said it skull o mance or school o mance, probably not right, but close enough that pronunciation hasnāt ever come up in voicechat
also, to the people pronouncing the sch in scholomance as sh, do you also pronounce school as shool?
