I think you would have to be insane to pronounce properly and to understand the awesomeness once you can. ;)

Well I will try to ask a Shoggoth friend of me for prounonciation....


...Well Shoggoths are maybe a bad idea as they are not that great in prounoucation, nor they are kind teachers (I think that eating bad prounoncing students is a bit harsh...)

the "R" is pronounced as in "Grrrrr" with a "lee-yeh" for the ending part.

In addition, the "lee-yeh" part has a kind of "snap" to the ending "yeh" part which is pronounced much as an Aussie would say "Yeah" in normal speech.

So all in all, when spoken correctly, "R'lyeh" has much the same impact on the listener as when one speaks French correctly. You know when you've spoken it with the correct accent -- but you'll be damned if you say it with proper accent and inflexion in front of a Chick you're trying to impress. Unless of course she's French ;-)

Well, it's a perfectly natural response to the saying "plenty more fish in the sea", isn't it?

Hmmmmm, seems to me (a Missouri Hillbilly) that it is Ril-ya, kinda like Drill-ya
