That's a proof that Japanese people are actually trying to pronounce german words in the correct way.

i always pronounce it as Su-We-Ko-Din

but some people pronounce it as Soy-Ko-Den

and some people pronounce it differently  , so which one is the right one?

Su-Weak-O-Den is how i say it.

Sway-ko-din

Only because the Chinese novel it is semi-based on, 'Outlaws of the Marsh' in pinyin is 'Shuǐhǔ Zhuàn', with the Shui pronounces as "shway". I assumed it would be similarly pronounced.

As it would be pronounced in Spanish, that is, the same as in Japanese. The english equivalent would be Soo-ee-koh-den, I think. Anyways, with those Japanses names I always use the japanese pronunciation, like Ico

Su-i-ko-den, the way it's written.

Of course I am pronouncing the vowels like in the German language, because that always seems to fit for Japanese names, like Baten Kaitos. So for you native English speakers, Su-i-ko-den would have a "u" like in "bush", "i" sounds like "e", "o" like in "got" and "e" like in "send".

I pronounce just like Rol does.

In my language, which makes it the same pronunciation as Japanese I believe.

Same here

In phonetic language, I pronounce it like this: SɵJKoːDeN

Any one knows phonetic language?



I LOVE ICELAND!

I wonder how many of you here know that it's actually Chinese, and since it's a JRPG, it's being pronounced in Japanese which is not even close to how it actually sounds, so you are all wrong =P.
