Re: How is "R'lyeh" pronounced?
 

I'm surprised people put a vowel in place of the '. I pronounce it "Rlee -yeah", or sometimes "R(stop)lee-yeah"

Re: How is "R'lyeh" pronounced?
 

I don't believe you. Rl is not a pronounceable starting consonantal sound. You have to insert a vowel to say it. (There's a reason I prefer a schwa - yay, i remembered the name)

Yeah, The "'" is sound made by your tentacles. So it can be a bit hard to pronounce by humans. Having a non euclidean anatomy also helps.

There. Fixed it for you.

Re: How is "R'lyeh" pronounced?
 

Of course it is. R and L are both voiced consonents. Japanese doesn't distinguish them either. In French slang, "reluquer" can be pronounced rluquer for instance, and would be spelled r'luquer to show the schwa is not pronounced. Now my R is a French R, it's "harder" than the English version, so that may explain why I don't need a vowel and you do: The same letter doesn't mean the same sound.

I always said it "Rye Leth"
Rye like the bread
"Leth" rhymes with "Meth"

Then i saw that there actually wasn't a "T" and got sad, but I've grown so used to it, it's hard to kick.

Really? I could have sworn R'lyeh was pronounced "All your mind are belong to Cthulhu. You are on the way to lobotomization. There is no chance to escape, make your time."

But maybe that is just me.

I always pronounce it ER-LIE in my head.

Not unlike what you say when caught red-handed... "Errr... <lie>"
