How are the various Species Names Pronounced?
Sang-hee-ell-ee?
Ga-Lek-Go-lo?
Yan-meh?
Un-goy?
Kig-Yar?
Hur-a-gok?
San-Shyum?
I simply can't say Jiralhanae due to my Korean heritage.

The word "Jiralhanae" is a Korean word that roughly means "stupid aggressive lunatic", which describes the Brutes' aggressive personality.

I think it's more offensive than that.

The only one I know for sure is Sangheili, pronounced "San-GELL-ee". Brutes and Grunts would occasionally have it in their lines in Halo 3, and you can hear it in the Elites' dialogue in Reach.

Think those are tough? Try Marathon aliens. Sph't which is simple enough I suppose but how the god damn hell do you say [b]Wr'kncacnter[/b]?

I don't know of any right way to pronounce the names, but this is how I pronounce them all. Sangheili=Sang-hee-lee Jiralhanae=Jair-al-han-eye Unggoy=Un-goy Yanme'e=Yan-meh-ee Huragok=Hur-ah-gok San 'Shyuum=San Sh-yoom Mgalekgolo=Mega Lek-goal-o Kig-yar is pretty self explanatory, it sounds just the way the way it's spelled.

Clearly pronunciation varies between people, but this is what I think. (And even the readers on the audio books and people doing voices in the games themselves pronounce some of the names differently.(Referring to a Brute in Halo 3) Either San-geh-lee and Sang-hee-lee Meg-ah-lek-go-lo Yan-may-ee Ung-goy Kig-yar Hure-a-gok San-sh-you-oo-mm (Double O's for the longer note, as it is two U's originally.) Ji-ral-han-ah-ey (Or eh if you think of the way some Canadians say it.)
