I've heard several different NPCs, in both Oblivion and Morrowind, say it as "Marrowind" and "Morrowind" and I'm wondering if there is any official recognization on either pronunciation or are both accepted?

Yeah. And what about names to. I have heard it pronounced "Sugar-wrath" and "Sheggo-wrath". Which is the right one?

Sheogorath is pronounced Schayo-gorath. Basically how you would probably saw it if you read it for the first time.

I have never heard it pronounce Marrowind before. I heard some bloke on Youtube call it that, but never any in-games peeps.

To me it only seems to be the difference between an English and an American drawl-like accent

Ya know, There are parts of this story that are not really true I think whatever way you pronounce it is in your head is the appropriate one.

i used to say "marrowind" but i think it's supposed to be "morrowind" because i heard "morrowind" on my goty extra disk for oblivion

The one character who speaks in a clear accent is Azura. The way she said it at the beginning of Morrowind is like it looks- Morr-O-wind.

lol i though sheogorath was pronounced she-o-gorath

*phones her*, hmmm the line is dead.

Personally i think the wiki needs to get one of those buttons which you press to hear the pronuciation but in azura's vioce. Also like many words in many languages wouldnt the dilect affect how the words are said, meaning there is no 'true' way of saying them?

Might be a matter of accent or dialect?

Yeah but seeming the game is in English maybe we should be discussing how to say it like that...and the original poster speaks English so you know...

Sheey-o-gorath <----- That is how Azura said it in her quest in Morrowind.
I say Azura knows best.

I have always said More-oh-wind, since that's technically how Jiub says it. But I think it could go either way.

Jiub sounds like he could do with a pack of strepsils.

Probably has cliff racer poo stuck in his lungs.

You are a dirty girl Vivec.

Well, come now Newsound, I meant because if you chase a bajillion Cliff Racers out of somewhere and, well, you know how they tend to swarm. I'm sure they drop a lot of stuff, and some of it's bound to land on or in someone. -_-

That thought is making me wretch.

I wouldn't put it past the damn things. Those ash storms get pretty violent, too...

You know it is not suprising the Dunmer are so grumpy, seeming they always have dirt/ash/sand/cliffracer in every crevice of there bodies.

I pronounce it, Morrowind, like Jiub. I thought that it was the way all people pronounce it.

I say Moar-o-wind. Guess I just had to be special, didn't I.

he is a saint in OB, yu know.

Going off-topic here, but I was surprised to find out that in Oblivion they actually mention Jiub as a saint and
Rather makes one respect him, what?

Yes, that's what I was referring to when I was talking about cliff racer poo
