Ha ha, that's funny! Just a shame I'm only up to "The last continent", so I haven't read this joke yet!

Well,this is an interesting thread to me. I've studied languages and speak as a native tongue a language that almost all foreign student of hate after just a few weeks trying to learn it.
I also remember TP clarifying the Angua dilemna and it was-ann goowa-pretty sure.However,I agree with not trying to put too much of a stress on how to say the names,go with whatever feels good in your head.
But the Überwaldian way of saying things do feel natural to me as an Icelander.I would make a VERY good vampire with my icelandic accent
(Oh,and sorry, I know you don't like very long posts )

But....even though it is explained in detail by Mr.Teatime,I could never get the hang of how to prounounce his name:( I know,I'm thick.

That was not a very long post , Sunna, and I doubt any one here would think otherwise. Feel free to post as long a post as necessary to get your point across. This is a board for people who love writing after all.

Long post aren't a problem Sunna.

Long posts without any punctuation or attempts to break up the text tend to make eyes go blurry and crossed, but I don't think that's something you do.

Oh, and welcome to the boards.

Ah ha ! A serious contender for Hsing, our current viking-accent champion !

Can you read phonetic script? If so, I'll attempt my version of what I think Mr Teatime wants us to say.

And, as the others said, that wasn't a long post at all!

No,I can't read it to save my life.We've never been taught it and I have to say,it's a disgrace,I even graduated from languages in college and I still wasn't taught it....But it's a pickle about Mr.T

Sunna, this might help you on...

Well,there you go!It was as I had imagined,only I didn't think that could be right.

Well whenever my mate and i talk of discworld (mainly who we would cast in a movie) we always pronounce it Ang-gwa, with a little emphasise on the G and the U kind of spread out

sorry, was reading the beginning of the thread, hadnt noticed it changed to teatime

That's something to watch out for. Threads may start on one subject but they do tend to wander weirdly and widely.

I've always said it with a long "A" so the fist part sounds the the "ang" in "anguish" and then "you-uh" but when I'm being lazy her name tends to become Ang-wa.
