essentially the same way as you scozzar, except I put a very subtle H sound before it.
huh-La-Loo

I also put the 'h' before the La Loo, as it isn't at all awkward in the pronunciation

It's said in the game quite a few times if I'm not mistaken...though I've also heard it said in Oblivion, both times it was pronounced hlah-loo.

Well, one thing I know for sure..
Everytime I say Hlaalu, I manage to waste all the air in my lungs.

I pretty much pronounce it as Hlaalu, with a weak H... straight aaaa... lu with a straight extended u... uuuh... not "you". Probably the Finnish doing it; the word is like Hungarian, close to Finnish. Redoran is more difficult in that way, no Finnish for it.

I leave the first L silent. Ha-loo.

I pronounce "Hlaalu" as "Scum fit only to be subjugated by the Telvanni". But really, Hlaalu is pronounced Hla-Loo. Kind of like starting as an H and ending as an L.

I guess it's like real life: French speaking English is quite different from Germans speaking English, not to mention British and Americans speaking English... can't see why they would pronounce Hlaalu the same way?

Hehe. I want to hear you say it then.

In Oblivion there is an Alchemist that pronounces it "Wa-Loo" As that is the only time that it is ever spoken, I assuming that is how Bethesda pronounces it.

Uhm, I just remembered (and to be sure looked it up in CS): People in Mournhold sometimes greet you by "Grandmaster of House Hlaalu, how may I serve you?" And it sure was pronounced "Laloo", male Dunmer almost pronounce it "Lalloo".

Silly silent letters. Why is that "H" there anyway? Again, silly silent letters.

Alu · Post by **Alu** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 1:30 pm

Probably because it looks better. Hlaalu looks good, just like a real fantasy name. Honestly, I think Hlaalu is an awesome name. I like it a lot

Laalu looks like Teletubby Laa-Laa's son

I pronounce it soft h, lah, loo. hLAHloo

I'm pretty sure Falaanu Hlaalu pronounces it in Oblivion. She says "Huhlahloo"

I pronounce it Hh-Lay-Loo, like cool hhwhip.
