Keeps reminding me of Caesar, which I keep reading like in German (y'know, with an umlaut ae/ä), which makes me read him more like "Cay-dous"

Didn't pretty much all modern language (aside from arabic and the various asian languages) begin with Latin thus making ALL language a derivative of Latin?

No. Look at the family tree, especially.
Latin only made its way into most languages thanks to Church and Science

Thank you, Zion!
Yun isn't pronounced Yoon, so why is Kun pronounced Koon? It doesn't make any sense (unless Basic makes as little phonetic sense as English...)
Since, for all intents and purposes, basic IS English. I say tes it doesn't make any sense phonetically speaking. I don't see why, just as in real life, pronunciantions can't vry from person to person IU, but that's just me. Hence Kash-eek and Kash-ick.

That's how it's pronounced in Latin.

How to pronounce Caedus?
I pronounce it cah-eh-doos
By the way the word caedus is based on the latin word caedes=to slaughter.
I'm a native speaker of a language that descends from the latin (portuguese) so I must be close to the right way to pronounce it...
Thanks for the Latin tip. I looked up the origins awhile ago and couldn't find anything (why I didn't think Latin in the first place is beyond me).
Also, I've noticed that Caedus has an alternate spelling in a few places (Legacy 19 for example). I like to think that Cade Skywalker was named after Caedus in my own piece of fanon. Anyone else?

Why would they name him after his great great uncle's Sith name? Just an unfortunate coincidence, I guess, both IU and OOU.
I think it'd be pretty cool if no one but Caedus and the Sith know his Sith name.

Who says "Exar Kun" is a basic name? It could quite easily be a name from a non-Basic speaking culture. Yun definitely is - since Yun wasn't even human, he was Epicanthix.

I'm currently listening to the Star Wars radio drama for the first time. Did you guys know that the "e" in "Tantive" isn't silent? It's pronounced, Antilles-style. Huh. Okay.
