I've added the Elven names from the card insert. Could someone who is actually knows Irish fill in the other pronounciations? I can guess at a few that weren't included, but I'd rather not write it in and be found to be wrong!

elven names are already listed on the elven page Elves, Cerilian http://www.birthright.net/brwiki/ind...es%2C_Cerilian as are dwarven, http://www.birthright.net/brwiki/ind...Cerilian#Names

Well, if you want to merge them, go ahead. My question was about the pronounciation guides, which the main Elven article doesn't include.

Has this already been done?

I wouldn't mind helping with Irish pronunciation.

I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but the Elven names to me sounded more Welsh than Irish.

There are plenty of elves, and they have had a long time to gain accents - so welsh or irish should both be good, and a pronunciation guide would be great for people like me who don't know the difference)

[Rey]

Yes, I have totally forgotten about, for example, Allanalaigh. That could pass as Irish.

[Caelcormac]

I could gladly help with Welsh as well...though Irish is easiest for me.

Both are of the same root language; with Welsh being a bit more difficult to pronounce at times (for me at least).

I could instead simply take a list given me, and then simply make a pronunciation guide for both.

If someone emails me the list, I'll hammer it out and then email it back to be posted. I'm fine using email; but most other computer things (like the Wiki stuff) is not something I'm practiced in at all.
