JJeff 10-17-06, 01:49 AM	I always pronounced it Saa-hor-geen
heirodule 10-17-06, 08:57 AM	Sah - HWA - jin
kiddoc 10-17-06, 12:17 PM	Having spent significant personal time plying the developers with free beer--I was able to glean this useful bit of information from them. At least according to the small handful I had in front of me: Sa--hue--ah--jin As the ever-so-word-smithy Steven Schubert told me: "It rhymes with 'Ah, you again!?!'" :twitch:
clem 10-17-06, 04:32 PM	Regardless of which pronunciation you choose, the cruicial bit is to sound like you're gargling as you say it. Think Merman from the old "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" cartoon. Never, ever, pronounce it like Orko.
The_Jester 10-17-06, 06:43 PM	Posted it on the main forum too: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=722487 So far I'm leaning to the semi-offficial: Sa--hue--ah--jin As the ever-so-word-smithy Steven Schubert told me: "It rhymes with 'Ah, you again!?!'" or This is one of the races I did that ended up in Blackmoor. The name is a Spanish name of an historian that came off the back of the Christ in the Americas pamphlet used by the LDS Church. Like the Ixit, there are two "official" pronunciations. First, pronounce it like you would in Spanish class. Second, Sa ha gwin (which is not intuitive).
TMoonshadow 10-20-06, 08:05 PM	I've always pronounced it Sa-HOG-in.
patafuko79 11-02-06, 12:34 PM	Sa-hoo-ah-ggin.
NobleKobold 11-05-06, 09:15 AM	Pronounce it like I do: Sea Devil :D
shivafang 11-09-06, 12:34 PM	The original mythological creature comes from gaelic irish, therefore the correct pronounciation is "Sah-hwa-gin' (hard 'g' like in 'great') Multiple vowles all next to each other become one sound in gaelic, so you don't break the syllable between the u and the a like most of you are trying to do (only consonants break syllables).
GrayPumpkin 04-19-07, 02:16 PM	According to Steve Marsh, who created the Sahuagin. Stve Marsh's Original Message (http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=142329&#142329) Wikipedia Reference (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahuagin) This is one of the races I did that ended up in Blackmoor.

First, pronounce it like you would in Spanish class. Second, Sa ha gwin (which is not intuitive). An old Justice League of America animated show and my own imagination provided the concept, with a heavy touch of sea Aztecs and the question what would evolved sharks as a social species be like.

This ("Sah-hwa-gin') is how I have pronounced it in the last few years, though I used to say "sah-hoo-a-gin" which sounded weird. Harliquinn
Marcus Majarra 04-19-07, 08:52 PM	Sai-ya-jin! *runs* Seriously, sah-HYUU-ah-geen
Timlagor 04-26-07, 03:37 PM	What makes you think any two people in Eberron would pronounce it the same?
