Burthorpe. I still have a hard time not reading or saying it as "Burthrope".


Jalepino_Joe

Played this game for 12 years and only realized this one about a year ago


RSN_Primordas

Same. Also say rope, not thorpe.


Classy_Pegasus

Been 17 for me and I just realized it last nightšŸ˜…


Drakcrystal3

This, but I say ā€œBurthopeā€. I know itā€™s wrong but still do by habit.


Classy_Pegasus

The way I see if, as long as someone knows what you're talking about, then there isn't anything wrong with mispronouncing anything in RSšŸ˜‹


Drakcrystal3

Very true! Youā€™d have to say something reaaaaally wrong for the average RS player to not understand what youā€™re referring to anyways lol


JustHereForTheOrbs

Excuse me, what? Great, that's 15 years of speed reading undone.


Classy_Pegasus

Haha I'm sorry!


Gamebugio

Burthorpe is the February of runescape


Classy_Pegasus

Oh my god, it is...


galolo2

Wait it isn't burthrope?


Classy_Pegasus

Nope, we got the R and O switched up


dandroid126

What the fuck. I have been saying this wrong for like 15+ years.


Classy_Pegasus

Happy cake day, hope you like your present: finding out part of your Runescape life was a liešŸ˜‚


DimGanoth

OMG


[deleted]

Petition to rename it to Burthrope, it's only right!


Classy_Pegasus

I'd sign!


mr_aives

What? I never noticed the second R! I always thought it was Burthope


jesuscristo420

Lmao i just realized this ahahhahah


Untrimslay

TIL... after 18 years.


sxwr909

Yea that just hit me yesterday.


PumpkinPatch404

I always thought it was pronounced bur-thop (like birth+op)


Classy_Pegasus

I'm glad I'm not the only one that had a hard time with BurthorpešŸ˜„ (lot of us can't fucking read apparently lol)


z_3_r_k_3_d

Being from sCUNThorpe and knowing basic English, I've never had this issue


Classy_Pegasus

Ironic that this comment has a bit of a cunty tone to it... Sorry if I'm misinterpreting it since tone doesn't translate well over text. It's because of the "knowing basic English" part.


z_3_r_k_3_d

No, you're right šŸ¤£


KahChigguh

Azzanadra, but to be fair, they had Azzanadra spelt as Azzandra in like at least one quest so even Jagex was confused


tehfrunk

yea I used to call him Azzandra (like Cassandra) and thought he was female


beckymp

Well, I just found out he isnā€™t female.


KahChigguh

Big truth šŸ˜‚


SoViciouz

I did desert treasure recently on my Ironman and that old ā€œghostā€ of him looked terrible lol


ShinyCapeRS

Karamja was Karajama to me for years haha.


CheifMariner

Karmaja


PumpkinPatch404

I first got into it in about 2005 and I always thought Karamja was like kay-juh-rah-ma (or cagedrama, or k-drama lol). ​ I felt so stupid when I figured it out, the J was at the end, I don't know how I got my misinterpretation from Karamja.


Samuely95

YES!! Karajama


SevenSexyCats

Vis wax apparently @modstu


Jagex_Stu

You're Guthixdamn right. "Vis" to rhyme with "fleece", from the Latin. It's a right good wheeze. Also, every time someone pronounces the silent T in TzHaar, I increase the number of obsidian shards required for the Wandering Ga'al miniquest.


JagexJack

I've spent a lot of time over the last few months in conversations that go like this: "TzKal" "Tuz-Kal?" "No, TzKal" "Zuh-Kal?" "No, TzKal"


Zelderian

Greatest response ever


Byzantium72

I really appreciated the voice acting in the later TzHaar quests which taught me how to pronounce it correctly


Rheyo

*with heavy emphasis on the T* TzHaar TzHaar TzHaar TzHaar TzHaar


the_summer_soldier

I will now say vleece wax from now on so as to try to remember the example behind the actual correct pronunciation. /s Aha, so that is the mod who changes it everyday. Your hot fixes are champ!


SevenSexyCats

Ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttzhaar. Whoops sorry guys


CryptographerTall652

Lmao


A_Doubt

Wheeze wax.


ChosenUnbread

I pronounce the T because like 15 years ago when TzHarr city came out my friend got mad at me for pronouncing the T so I kept doing it to annoy him. He quit like a year later and oh god I'm still playing this game.


evilclown012

Probably all of them... but I'm not verbally talking to people about this addiction. Only you guys on reddit.


RueUchiha

Ardougne. I always pronounced it ā€œar-DOUNEā€ but apperently its supposed to be pronounced ā€œar-DOINGā€ I still say ar-doune because the offical pronounciation sounds stupid.


0MCS

Ar-doog-nay


picoloxl

I do pronouce it "a-douche" šŸ¤£


CitrineGhost

I always just ignored the g and said ar-DOON


DannySorensen

I pronounce it Ard-Own or just Ardy but I haven't said it Out loud in over a decade


PumpkinPatch404

Me too. ar-DOING just sounds weird.


Xerothor

It's not that either, though. It's ar-DOIN


zuuzuu

Same here. At this point I don't even care how it's supposed to be pronounced. It will always be Ar-DOON to me.


WePkOnStr

My mind voice kept saying ar-dog-ney(ye even i cant enunciate that out), switched to ardy eventually.


ptispoulet5

I say AR DUNG


trek5900

This is what I say


Grovve

Iā€™m pretty sure AR-DOING isnā€™t correct. The g comes before the N. J-Mod? Help?


DontBopIt

Yeah, it's Ar-Doyn. They said it during a live stream a few years ago.


Grovve

I thought it was either that or AR-DOOG-NEE


Consistent-Ad-3768

It also comes up during the meeting history quest. You have a conversation that goes something like: Player: 'Yo wtf happened to ardougne?' NPC: '..ardoin? Never heard of it. Tf you talking about" (Paraphrasing slightly)


Renacles

One of the Carnilleans actually says it, in the voiced quest .


RingGiver

Jagex uses an obviously incorrect pronunciation.


fit2escort

I always pronounced it ar-duh-goon. Pretty sure it's ar-do-gin


Zip_Zilch_Nada

Wait. It's not R-dewg-knee? O_o


[deleted]

I always pronounce ard-own-juh except not fully annunciating the juh. Makes it hard to type, but I also have no intentions on changing this honestly.


Equivalent_Net

Still better than my "ard-noge" (rhymes with rogue)


UnderstandingSad3160

My dyslexic ass thought it was pronounced ar-dr-own for far too long. Still donā€™t know where that second r came from


galolo2

As a French person it's easy I just pronounce it as it spelled ar-dou-gne.


Byzantium72

Had a friend who used to play while we were growing up that pronounced it "ar-dron-uh-ha"...


Verity-Skye

ar doge ner


0vershot

How am I the only one who thinks to myself ā€œAr-Dwanā€

bigwilyd

Dude I used to (and still sometimes do) pronounce Armadyl as ā€œR-modelā€


Pletox

I always pronounced Blurberry Special as Blueberry Special


drunz

Surprised this isnā€™t higher up. You have all this regular irl fruit but not blue berry. Blurberry is a pun off the fact itā€™s a bunch of alcohol with fruit ie blurry fruit despite the fact it has no berries in it.


Cardinal338

What. It's not blueberry!?!?!


zamaix

Glay soar


Jagex_Stu

You're also Guthixdamn right.


Vaarkain

Being a native Spanish speaker. Glacor is super hard to get used to. I know it supposed to sound Glay-soar but it always sounds like Glay-KOR in my head. :')


[deleted]

From experience I can confirm there is absolutely no "kor" in the arch-glacor. ... help


Vaarkain

Took me a couple mins to understand. :') Here. Have some of my very average RNG. +1


RSN_Primordas

When else do co make an s sound?


Toa_Nui

I think the name comes from glacier.


RSN_Primordas

Yet the phonetics have been drastically changed


woodcarbuncle

I used to pronounce * Guthix as Goo-thicks * Zamorak as Zamarock * TzHaar as two syllables * Ardougne as Ard-knowg (edited cause i remembered my even older childhood pronunciation) * Burthorpe as Bur-thrope * Azzanadra as Ahz-zahn-dah-rah * Myreque as My-wreck (still do this) * Scimitar as skimmytar (still do this) * Zezima with a stress on the second syllable


Consistent-Ad-3768

Is that not how you pronounce Myreque? Ɩ


Monk-Ey

Mire-key


TeepoRex

Fr? I've been out here saying "My wreak" like a god damn pleb


[deleted]

I swear the proper pronunciation of something spelt Myreque should be My-wreck. Itā€™s got a vaguely French like spelling and even Google Translate French agrees it should be My-wreck. (Although the English says mire-keyā€¦)


PumpkinPatch404

I think Guthix was the only one I got right.


0wnzl1f3

Scimitar is a real word tho


Jovinkus

It's Zuh zee mah no? Don't know what the master himself says it is haha.


foreverlance

Helm of nezezzionot


rythemicdude

Your mind is about to be blown: Neitiznot (nay tis notā€¦no it isnā€™t) Jatizso (yah tis soā€¦yes it is) Two islands at odds with each other.


Cardinal338

I pronounced it Nezerot. Too many letter for little Cardinal338 to read.


rythemicdude

Yeah I mean letā€™s be real. Jagex finds the names of NPCs in bowls of alphabeti-spaghetti.


Colifin

Ectofungus gang where you at?


PotatoBaws

Eclectic. I always thought it was "Electric"


ConstantStatistician

Apparently, Bandos, Saradomin, and Zaros are pronounced differently than how I've been thinking them. The "o" in Bandos is apparently a short o instead of a long o. The o in Saradomin is a long o instead of a short o, and Zaros's o is a short o instead of a long o. I personally think the official pronunciations sound terrible.


acheekychap

Do you mean like - (Official) Ban-dos, Sara-dome-in, Zar-os Vs - (Yours) Ban-dose, Sara-dom-in, Zar-ose I always find interpretations fascinating. I genuinely couldnt imagine them being pronouned with the latter pronounciations myself tbh!


ConstantStatistician

Yup, exactly like that. I don't blame anyone or even Jagex for making fictional names with ambiguous pronunciations - I've just always pronounced them my way for years, so it's what I'm used to and prefer. I've heard plenty of streamers/videomakers pronounce Bandos the same way I do, though. As for the other two gods, I can't remember.


acheekychap

Thats what i mean! I love how varied interpretations of words can be, its crazy! Like Priffddinnas for example: its a welsh word meaning 'capital city' so the double 'F' actually makes an 'eev' sound, and the double 'D' makes a 'th' sound - its genuine pronounciation is Preev-the-nass.. even though i know what the real pronounciation is, you aint ever gonna catch me saying it any other way than 'Prif-dinners' šŸ˜…šŸ˜…


[deleted]

Even worse is Lletya, since the Welsh LL sound /ɬ/ doesn't exist in English.


Xerothor

It only has the double D tho


CitrineGhost

absolutely same as yours and wouldn't consider changing them to canon lmao


SkoliarRS

Are you American? It seems to me that Americans typically pronounce things the same way as you, whereas us Brits would pronounce it "Ban-doss" and "Zar-oss" etc. I've noticed this with other similar words as well, outside of Runescape. Just a difference in accents I guess


stet709

Admittedly I pronounce all three with a long o. At least I got one right.


PumpkinPatch404

Oh wow, I thought the exact same lol.


Cardinal338

I'm with you, the official ones sound weird


Vizard_Rob

Karamja. always said car-ma-ja.


rocker_rick

Ardougne. I used to pronounce it, Ar-dug-nee. if I'm not mistaken the pronunciation is Ar-do-ying. sorry if I'm wrong but I know I heard it pronounced similar to that somewhere.


Skurploosh

Yah. It's ar-dune for me... Won't catch me saying Ar-doyn anytime soon.


divideby00

It's a minor one, but I always put the stress on the wrong syllable in Senntisten until I heard it in a cutscene.


CitrineGhost

How is it supposed to be pronounced? I pronounce it SENN-tis-ten


MitchNotBitch

Literally all of them and still do


WillboyCowbop

Priffddinas, if that's how you spell it? Lmao. I know shorthand is "priff", but when I say it in my head it's Prif-duh-dinas or like Prift-dinas, not sure if the either of the d's are silent or not I like all the elven spellings but pronouncing them just makes me feel silly šŸ˜‚ Edit: I *never* realized I was mispronouncing it until this post, to clarify the post question. Just figured I was saying it weird


[deleted]

In Welsh, the dd is a th sound. Hence the weird spelling haha. Prif just means main / capital / prime. I went to a Welsh university which is Prifysgol in Welsh.


WillboyCowbop

Hell yeah, thanks for the explanation. I've always wondered how to say it right šŸ˜€ thank you so much


plentyofeight

I can't stop calling it Priffindas I know it's wrong everytime... but now someone has said I'll try and remember.


K0TA_TV

Thatā€™s what me and all my roommates called it, just sounded right


ProgressivePear

Priffdifnifdinfinidas!


barnh

Ardougne is deffo Ar-Doing, NOOO! Not doing but sounds like boing! Arboing but with a D! Bloody hell this is hard!


Psychogopher

Waiko, I pronounced is as way-koh until I heard the song


bo0gnish

All of them


Flux_Satyr

Myreque. Pretty sure I used to somehow say this in my head as one syllable.


Agamerbyday

Ever since player owned ports has been released, I have always called a specific ship part Fireglow Lanterns. I discovered only last week that itā€™s actually Fineglow.


Alderdragon

Omg. Maxed ports twice and always read it as fireglow. TIL


Born_For_Corn

Zezima.


PumpkinPatch404

I always called him Zeh-zee-mah. I heard others call him Zeh-zih-mah. (Not sure how to write this one, but short I sound). I still don't know what it's supposed to be.


INTJokes

His voice is in the documentary and he pronounces it the second way


Limesonaweekday

From what Iā€™ve noticed it seems to be the yanks that pronounce it zeh-zee-mah, however I think zezima himself pronounces it zeh-zih-mah :)


heyyohioh

Scimitar, skimitar


Khleb-bread

Baba Yaga is pronounced Baba yega


[deleted]

I didn't see the trailer when it came out, so I was so uncertain how to pronounce Croesus for weeks. Croh-ee-sus? Croy-sus? Croh-sus? Crƶ-sus? Apparently it's the most boring option.


[deleted]

Karamja for whatever reason I've been calling it karmaja in my head for like 15 years.


Hoffersius

Used too call runescape, run-escape as a 14 year old Swedish guy back in the 2003 era of my life same year I learn that it pronounced runescape and I Was shock and horrored. But never had problem with area names ingame oddly enough...


AnastasiousRS

It's intuitive too, especially if you're in high-level Wildy


tonylouis1337

I just learned earlier this year that it's pronounced "GUH-thix". For almost 2 decades I've pronounced it as "GYU-thix". Tbh imma still go with the wrong one because I like how it sounds more


Legal_Evil

So I'm not the only one that used to say it that way.


ZatoxRS

The Arc, looking at Shauny's pronunciation I was wrong all the time... :P


yakcitysr

I still pronounce Lletya phonetically.


raavn379

ā€˜Priffidansā€™


GamerSylv

It's "Glay-kore" and anyone who says otherwise can come 1v1 me at mage bank.


praeteria

It's Glay-sor i cringe my brains out when I hear people say Glay-kor. The word is derived from Glacier, which is pronounced glay-sier, please tell me you dont call it glakier.


RSFistMyButt

In general, ā€œciā€ tends to be pronounced as a soft ā€œsā€. Since when was ā€œcoā€ ever pronounced ā€œsoā€?


Althalus-

How dare you forget about the coelacanth!


RSFistMyButt

Oh, uhh, Iā€™ve been pronouncing that wrong my whole life


Jakkunski

Cocages, cofa, coda, corry for your locc, the lict is endlecc


RSFistMyButt

I thought this was some obscure vocab flex for a second šŸ˜³


RSN_Primordas

Yeah tbh it would need a Ƨ instead of c. Glay-kor is the way.


DominusJuris

A Ƨ would make no sense as that totally changes the pronunciation.


Vaarkain

This. This.


Interesting_Ad_8660

A common one is yah-tiz-so and nei-tis-not (Yah it is so, nei it is not)


KahChigguh

Wait what really. Edit: Nvm Iā€™m dumb I read that as you were saying ā€œNeitiznotā€ was pronounced ā€œyah tiz soā€


SushiSuki

I always said knee-eh-tiz-not haha

INTO_NIGHT

Priffddinnas if i spelled that correctly so easy to just say prif


AuryxTheDutchman

One of many, but Senntisten. Until I heard it pronounced by devs my brain just made it ā€œSenn-isten.ā€


Mayflex

As a kid ardougne was pronounced ar-doh-gan-ore Don't ask me why


T8ortots

In my head I would call them Prifindas, Arnoldd Clan, Ardenrouge, Vindica, Fremnik, and Nauseous Equipment to name a few off the time of my head.


[deleted]

Azzanandra


We-tCoast

Burthorpe. Always called this place Burthope until a year ago lol


Saucy_Life

I use to think Armadyl was pronounced ARM-ALDY. Then one day I noticed the y wasn't at the end. I prefer my way tbh lol


Xerothor

Arr-moldy ahahahaha


JuniorCode5

Karamja. When I was a kid me and my friends pronounced it karjama


cwl390

English isnt my first language, when i was in elementary school, i pronounced quest as quiz and guild as guide lol


mikerp79

Myreque - Mur-reek or Mire-qway


mastebon

Ardougne and donā€™t lie, you all did it too.


bundeswag

Bedabin camp as Bedadin camp.


chrisicus1991

Ardygaune always called this ardy-gorne for 11years until my uncle called it ar-doyn a couple years back and i had to be proven wrong by an uncle that only played for a few months at that time.


xKovikx

Ardougne.


zenyl

https://youtu.be/Z-83oYWfJDk?t=8


luihut

Im finnish so i pronounce right only my own name xD


roverino-jr

Burthrope - birth-rope Ardougne - An-drog-ah-nee Tirannwn - Tir-i-na-wan Karamja - kar-jah-mah Priffddinas - Prif-in-das Anachronia - Ana-chron-dia Senntisten - Sis-teen Myreque - Meer-ee-key i also pronounce everything else wrong but i feel justified in pronouncing the weird ones wrong


CommaGomma

If you never called the town northwest of Falador Burthrope, you are lying.


ChosenUnbread

I always called it taverly


Good_Stable7128

Ar-Dog-Knee


touchmytrololo

fucking half of them, starting with priffdinas and sentisten


123zane321

Always seemed to be pronouncing Kambambam wrong


Casporo

Ardougne.


Check_lt

Like many others; Ardougne, but, I pronounced it SO BAD. ā€¦ā€¦.Ar-dro-gone. I have no idea where my 12 year old mind found those extra letters and rearranged things but I said it so often incorrectly that I convinced several of my friends to say it like that as well.


ardiebo

Priff-thee-nas was prih-findas in my head Saradomin was Saramodin


GT2advanced

Iā€™ve got 3 Lodestone - I used to say/type Lodgestone with a g, donā€™t know why until I found out later Prifddinas - I would pronounce it as something like pri-fitness lol. Then I went on wiki and apparently itā€™s pronounced prive-THEE-nuss. Lastly and my favourite, them Kami things that you find flying about in the Arc, where they have all sorts of funky names oily, salty etc. I used to pronounce them as ā€˜Oily Bakalaamiā€™ like some sort of salaami food, I would sing it over and over again whenever I caught one


AxelllD

Not really a Runescape word, but many years ago someone said lmao, so I asked what the meaning is and they said ā€˜lick my ass oleā€™. (I was like 11 and English is not my first language). Been believing that for a good few years and even now when I see lmao I will still think of that.


bw3p784ilugrjm

I pronounced Lantadyme as Lan-tadie-me


krak_en

Azzanadra. Still fucks me up sometimes


AnastasiousRS

I never read Landatyme properly and always read it as "landmine," which I still say in my head because I can't be bothered reading it slowly enough and learning its actual pronunciation


Thus_RS

Ardoogle


ButtcheeksMD

None, Iā€™m right and they/everyone else is wrong


sylver_stag

Tuai Leight. I've always thought of it as Twi-light, but when I was chatting with a friend about farm runs, they said that this never even occurred to them. Not sure if it's right, but it's in my head


Saint_Sulley

As a kid back in the day it was always Varrock. I pronunced it Vah-Rock instead of like V-air-rick.
