Please help, how to say characters names

[greebo13]

I have read prachett for many years but i dearly wish to know how to say some of the characters names like Angua. A list or whatever would be nice.

[Tonyblack]

I always read it as Ann-gwa. This seems to be the way Stephen Briggs says it on the audio books as well.

[Beautiful Dirt]

Funny, in my head it's always An-gu-ah. It's difficult to change once it's in your head.

[Kittycat1977]

Funny, in my head it's always An-gu-ah. It's difficult to change once it's in your head.

Thats how I have always read it as well.

[Conforumist]

It's actually Iguana, if you lysdexic.

[ShadowNinjaCat]

Funny, in my head it's always An-gu-ah. It's difficult to change once it's in your head.

Thats how I have always read it as well.

Same here.

[meerkat]

Funny, in my head it's always An-gu-ah. It's difficult to change once it's in your head.

Thats how I have always read it as well.

Me too!

[DaveC]

Me too!

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

Me ... five or three, too.

[wicked woman]

Me whatever number.

[Temple_maiden]

An-gyew-a

[Tonyblack]

The odd one is Nanny Ogg's first name. I've heard that pronounced all sorts of ways.

I've always said g-eye-thar.

There's actually a character in one of Bernard Cornwell's Saxon books named Gytha.

[Temple_maiden]

geye-tha (with a soft th, not a hard one)

[poohcarrot]

Oh dear! How I pronounce some of the names caused a lot of merriment at last years' DW Con, particulrly with Mad and Jan.

I pronounce her name An-joo-na. There's a beach in Goa called Anjuna and I always think of that when I see her name.

I also pronounce Gaspode as "Gas-pod"

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

"Gas-pod"

Waits for the inevitable.
