Pronouncing the name of one of the Pendragon Books

[ivanhoe]

Hello all,

This is my first post on this board and I will be sure to post in the introductions forum.

Let me get straight to my question then. My English professor and I were briefly discussing after class exactly how to pronounce Talieson. I have always pronoucned it Tal - li - eson. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!

I understand it's pronounced like Tally-ess-un. I'm sure other will pipe in soon.

Tal-EE-ess-in

You can check for yourself on SRL's website www.stephenlawhead.com/audio.htm

There are audio clips for pronunciation of several names.

Yea I think the last two posts are the way I've always said it. hehe it's funny some of those names my tongue just won't wrap itself around...makes me feel like a pretzel

I say it ta-lie-isen but my friend says tally-asin

One of the fascinating things about 'Taliesin' is that the name itself is so poetic. It can be pronounced in many ways and I suggest you use whatever sounds most felicitous. My Welsh friends tell me that the correct way to pronounce the name is Tal-YESS-in.
