You don't want to hear me read aloud, I deliberately add malapropisms because I find them funny, especially when I have to read the names of fantasy characters and places. I am not going to read your pronunciation guide in your half baked fantasy language! You're not Tolkien! If it reads like Chicken, I'm saying Chicken.
Malapropisms - learned a new word today and it's a fun one. I do the same thing in my head when I read, any name I don't know how to pronounce becomes something I do know how to pronounce and stays that way for the rest of the story.
That's the reason why i use latin as base when i name things in fantasy, it both sound good and can't be misspelled
Oh I am Mery hoot at misspeeling
One of my favourite things about Brandon Sanderson's fantasy books is that the pronunciation is canonically "whatever goes". Even the author himself doesn't use the pronunciations he originally imagined when writing.
I always read emphasis as "em-FASS-is" just for fun.
