I guess it's always been "dir-igh ah-bon", how do you pronounce Senuzgda?  Yruma?  Kedelke?  Rduna?  Hrus?  Chaeza?  Dirigsene?

lots of strange names on the map.

I pronounce the "gh" somewhere halfway between the two letters.  Sounds sorta like the Afrikaans "g" if you've heard Die Antwoord's music.  I stress the second syllable of Ab-AHN, but I don't know where to put the emphasis in "Dirigh".

Then again, we're all trying way too hard to pronounce a made-up word.

voted option 3

if i had to guess the vowels probably would have continental values (i like ee, a like aah)
and the gh would probably be this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_velar_fricative (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_velar_fricative) , which sounds sort of like the ch in loch ness or guten nacht
and the R would probably be a trilled R

probably the most official way to pronounce this made up word is to just pronounce it in a turkish accent because taleworlds

My guess is Turkish accent is our best bet since developers are turkish. It is just their way of doing, so:
Dy-rig (http://translate.google.com.tr/#en/tr/dyrig)
I-ban (http://translate.google.com.tr/#en/tr/I%20ban)




Just like:
Dur-qu-ba (http://translate.google.com.tr/#tr/en/durquba) or Dir-ku-ba (http://translate.google.com.tr/#en/tr/dirkuba) (Should be pronounced similarly to Cordoba/Cordova as it was intended to be so originally)
Sen-uzg-da (http://translate.google.com.tr/#tr/en/Senuzgda) or Sen-ask-da (http://translate.google.com.tr/#en/tr/senaskda)


The funny thing is, Google translate fails to pronounce it in a correct Turkish accent sometimes too, so I posted both for turkish and english accents. It should be somewhere in between most of the time; closer to turkish versions.

I always pronounced it: die - rye(like the bread)  uh - ban.  basically because it looks like right w/o the T, proper american english butchery of words
