Default Re: How should word "C'tis" be pronounced?

I don't understand, "C" is never pronounced as "Tsss"!

Depends on your native language. In Slavic languages c is very often ts, whether a the beginning of a word of in the middle. In place names like Planica, for example, that's pronounced Planitsa, with a slight hiss to the s. And in English it can be k like in Celts and Celtic, but also s like in celebrate and celebrant (of the faith who appears in province x with a bunch of militia).

For me, I tend to read C at the beginning of a word as k because that's the way things work in Finnish. C'tis would be something like Kh'tiss and if you don't like the glottal stop, just go with Khetiss with the e nearly silent. Though the other way of saying it, Tsh'tiss or Tshi'tiss (again with the first i (or e if you prefer) nearly silent) also works.

Depend on the fact that since Dominions has different nations who presumably also have different languages of their own, you would probably find both variations represented...

When anglicizating Chinese you do, which I imagine is the reason I too say "ts'tis"
