    Tiaan Jerjerrod's surname phonetically please?

    Is it Jer-jer-rod? Sounds silly to my ears, which is why I think I may be saying it wrong.

    I prefer to pronounce it Jer-JAIR-rudh, but the Time Warner audio book narrated by Tony Roberts pronounced it Jer-jer-rod (example). If I'm remembering correctly, the NPR radio drama pronounced it the same way, and Wookieepedia seems to back me up on that:


    I don't know if there are 'more canon' (EU or NEU) audio sources.

    I will never get over how unpronounceable these things are.

    It literally makes no sense to say "pronounced: gibberish." [face_dunno]

    I use this IPA chart when I forget my symbols. Most dictionaries come with an IPA chart in the front, too.

    dʒ - j as in job
    æ - a as in trap or bath
    ʌ - u as in sun, o as in done

    This is exactly how I've always said it.

    No, I was getting mine from the radio drama. Disc 2 track 1, 12:52 -- for example. Jer-jair-rudh. But then Vader's VA goes and says Jer-jer-rod a few minutes later.

    So it depends on who you trust -- Vader, or Imperial officers.

    Same, but it's terrible which is why I immediately defected to the radio drama version once I heard it.

    Ooh okay, thank you! I don't have my own copy of the radio drama anymore and couldn't find it easily on YouTube to check.

    Maybe I've just heard it in my head for too long, but Jer-jer-rod doesn't sound the least bit silly to me.
