How to Properly Pronounce Chernarus Locations

[duncandun 4]

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I feel like a douchebag when I go around spouting the names of towns and locations in this game and not knowing how to properly pronounce them. I hate feeling like I'm butchering someone else's language.

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.

An easier way, just check this site:

I can't even pronounce "Chernogorsk"

I pronounce Chernogorsk and Chernaurus as

"Shernogoresk." and "Shernarrus."

I know it's not an "sh" sound, but Idon'tgiveafuq.

Luckly I have the upper hand with the rolled Rs. At least the latin tongues works along slavic in this aspect.

Yeah, I can do them, but they take a lot more effort than they ought to for me, and they still sound kind of ugly. Still, speaking Czech fluently comes in handy every so often.
