Jraenar = Tough one. "Jr" as a single sound, almost as if you're saying "Shhh" only with more of a Z sound than an S. So:

J-reh-nar

Re: How do you pronounce the races?
 

Mostly I pronounce all races like others. Except Jraenar.
In Poland "J" is pronounced like "Y". So

Jraenar = Yra-enar

Re: How do you pronounce the races?
 

Jraenar- I've always assumed the J was silent because it was followed by a consenant. Not for any particular reason but RAY-nar.

Re: How do you pronounce the races?
 

Given that I invented most of these guys, I'll go ahead and clear this up. Here it is, folks, the official pronunciation guide, along with how the name came to be.

Piundon = Pee-Undone (Extremely bad Chinese-English translation that had me rolling around on the floor. It was from some ettiquete guide which at one point reminds it's readers to unzip their fly before urinating by saying 'Remember: Pee Undone')
Sallega = Sal-Egg-A (From Salad, Egg A(nd) mayonaise sandwich. Pretty much all my girlfriend at the time would eat)
Norak = No-Rack (What she had as a result of this diet)
Sergetti = Sayer-Ghetti (A bastardization of a nickname for one of my friends based on her extremely drunken attempts to pronounce her own name. Her name: Sandra Johnson. Go figure)
Drushocka = Drew-Shock-Ah (My lab partner, Drew, kept shocking me, which made me go ah!)
Praetorians = Pray-toe-ree-anz (I'd jus watched a documentary on Rome's Praetorian Guard. Sue me)

I think I might be responsible for a few more of them, but I can't really remember, since there was a good few race descriptions that had their actual artwork done by Eric Henry.
