Scholomance Pronunciation?

I say Sholo-mance even though I guess it’s technically wrong.

See, English is funny like that. There’s different ways to pronounce certain letters or groups of letters. Take read/read for example. Sch can make the “shh” sound also.

No not “Sho”

You don’t pronounce the word “School” as “Shool.”

Scholomance is a contraction of School of Necromancy

Skol-o-manse

I am with Dyl, it is 100% Sk-ah-low-mance

How do you pronounce schlep?

In english, pronunciation is based more on the word’s origin than the rules of the language.

Spartacus above mentioned the origin word Şolomanţă. It will carry its pronunciation from that rather than adapt to the rule for school because english is the bastard of bastard languages.

You do if its using German grammar, and since the naming theme for the instance seems to follow German / Romanian themes…

last official response was school a mance

Where is the “ah” sound coming from? lol

I also read it as Sholo over the years but have never been confident I was correct lol

Eww, what? Never even would have thought those two.

It’s shkow-low-monse.

School of mance except mashed together and said like “Sko-low-mance”, I pictured it as Schol’o’mance with an irish lilt for a while.

but u wouldn’t say s-ch-ool – if you were referring to an educational institution.

I’m fairly certain that it’s pronounced skol-o-mance

This is how I say it, also.

The official pronunciation is Schol-o-mance
