Click on the links below if you want to hear my pronunciation of the names (of people, places or anything) in the book. They’re not quite what I hear in my head when I’m writing or reading these names – they’re a bit exaggerated in many cases, there are a few mistakes, and some sounds I can’t quite get my tongue round. There may be a few names missing altogether, but hopefully you can guess those from the sound of others with shared elements. I may update the clips later with less exaggerated pronunciations or fixing other deficiencies, but the intended pronunciation will remain the same!
Some of these names don’t occur in Birgom’s Diary – they belong to Exile. Many occur in both books, of course.
