Pronunciation never given...

[Ceph]

This may be relatively unimportant but I've been curious ever since I saw some of these names...

How do you pronounce "Ophion"? I had to look up some of the others, such as:
Stygian [STIH-jee-en]
Drekavac [DREH-kah-vahk]
Bathos [BAY-thahs]

...and I'm assuming Eryx just sounds like the plural of "Eric", Osiris sounds like [oh-SIGH-ris], and, while I had been pronouncing Aquila similar to Atilla (the Hun lol), Google Translate says it's [ACK-wih-luh].

P.S. They pronounced Mundus as [MOON-duhs] in the first game, but now it's [MUHN-duhs]. Anyone else do a double-take?

 

[Morgan]

Pretty sure Aquila should be [AH-kee-luh/lah].

 

[Ceph]

Pretty sure Aquila should be [AH-kee-luh/lah].

Sounds Spanish or something lol

'Ophion' would probably be pronounced 'OFF-ee-on'.
Eryx is pronounced 'er-iks', like you said.
Aquila can be pronounced 'ACK-wih-lah' and 'Ah-KWIL-Ah' in English, and would probably be ''ah-KEE-lah'' in the native tongue.

I always pronounced Mundus as 'mun-dus' (English), though you can also pronounce it as 'Moon-doos', as in Latin. NEVER PRONOUNCE IT AS 'MOON-DUS'. That is simply wrong. Sadly, there is no sound in English equivalent to the Latin short 'oo' sound.

Yeah, it is properly "AH-Kee-lah" since it's spanish.

~sage nod~ the proper Latin is "moon-doos", which means that they STILL screwed it up in DmC. The again, considering how much it makes ones ear's wretch as David De Latome's "Yam-At-oh" mispronounce when it's "Yaw-Maw-toe"..

I know what you mean, but living in Japan and constantly seeing/hearing the English language butchered (especially in music) has made me much more lenient on that sorta thing. Tho it does make you wanna slap him upside the head lol

Ophion is "OH-fee-yen," essentially.

Pronunciation of Ophion:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ophion

Pretty easy to find, this kind of thing. The last syllable sound would be pronounced ''ON'', in English. It's just that you can't convert Latin sounds to English sounds.

 

[Dante Redgrave]

Ophion is "OH-fee-yen," essentially.

...I was always under the impressin it was "Oh-fee-on"...maybe it's an infliction thing too.

*inflection

 

[Tody]

I also feel that Ophion is O-FEE-YON, and Mundus is MUHN-DIS.

Eryx is ERIKS to me.

 

[Dante Redgrave]

I also feel that Ophion is O-FEE-YON(yes), and Mundus is MUHN-DIS.(Moon-doos actually is the proper latin, both DMC1 and DmC messed it up)

Eryx is ERIKS to me.

Yep!

 

[Lionheart]

Doesn't matter. It's 'OFF-ee-on' or 'OH-fee-on', and Mundus can be called whatever you like as long as it's not 'MOON-dus' or 'MUN-DOOS'.

MUHN-dus or MOON-doos.

So... yeah.

Drekavac[DREH-kah-vahk]

I've been wondering how that's pronounced... and even seeing it written, I still can't say it XD

 

[TWOxACROSS]

Could just be my upper midwest accent, too :/

'DREH-Kah-Vahts' would appear to be the correct pronunciation (with a 'ts' sound).
It's on Wikipedia, for Jeebie's sake
