So I have a simple request.

Could someone who can speak Czech(or russian, I'm not sure which language the ingame cities are based on), make a video/audio recording of the correct pronunciations of the various locales in Chernarus?

That would be really amazing. Hopefully I'm not the only one who would Like something like this!

I'll put one together for you, give me a few minutes.

They're Russian, by the way. Even though BIS are Czech, and Chernarus is based on a segment of the Czech Republic. Some of the words on billboards, etc. are in Czech though. I speak Czech fluently, and I can read and pronounce Russian words without any problems.

Keep in mind that the letter r in Russian (and Czech) is supposed to be rolled. I've always had trouble rolling them properly, and I doubt anyone cares, so I won't be rolling my r's in the recording.

There actually is no file, unfortunately.

Appears to have been deleted.

Unfortunate. Would've like to see how badly you could butcher it.

(I kid. I can't roll my R's either. Damn Americanization.)

I'm re-requesting this T_T. That was the first thing I said in the post. I know it got deleted.

Too bad this is missing. It'd be really nice to have.

I prefer mispronouncing them and adding my own little quirks to the words. Bonus points for a shitty russian accent
