WHATGRRM pronounces Dothraki as doth-rak-eye. Interesting.
I hope all future Martin Q&As work the same, where they quickly recite the most popular/repetitive questions (favorite character=Tyrion) super fast at the beginning.
This Norwegian paper claims so, while from not a blog:
I'd try looking for another source for the news paper claim, but I'm pretty spoiler paranoid (and conservative(?)) now that I jumped off the show.
I've always been thrown by how he pronounces Cersei.GRRM pronounces Dothraki as doth-rak-eye. Interesting.

"You may see some extremely shocking things on the show that come up in the next season or two - but I'm not sure you could consider them spoilers because they're never going to happen in the books. They can't happen in the books."
based grrm
How does he do it?
sir-say
That's how I pronounce it
Is there any other way to pronounce it?
That's what the show's official pronunciation guide lists. Isn't it how Roy Dotrice says it also? I don't like it.Ser-see is how some people pronounce it
Yep.Doth-rak-ee
Right on.Cer-say
You monster.Jay-mm

Damphair : Roy Dotrice ['dæmfɛəɹ] dam-fair
Apparently that guy is just a disaster lol. "dam-fair" smdh.
They really fucked up the pronunciation of that one.Asha hbo ['jæɹə] ya-ra

As someone who listened to the audio books, uh, how else is it pronounced?
I'm curious how you thought it was pronounced.Damphair I got right the first time I read it but "Jeyne rhymes with pain" blew my fucking mind.

I pronounce it like Jane.
I always thought it was weird that GRRM doesn't follow his own rules with names (that's assuming he has rules).
Tywin = tie-win
Tygett = tie-get
Tyrek = tie-wreck
Tyrion = tier-ian
Following the other names within the same House it should be more like tie-ryan.
Either way, it's weird it's tier instead of tie.When I read the books I thought it was pronounced Tie-re-on
Either way, it's weird it's tier instead of tie.
I thought Hermione was pronounced Herm-ee-one and Dumbledore as Dumb-bleh-door.
In ASOIAF I thought Theon was Thay-on, and I thought Damphair was.Damp-hair duh

ThroughYeah but think about how you say "tyranny" as opposed to "tyrant." The ny at the end shouldn't change the way you pronounce the preceding syllable, yet it does. (for Americans anyway.) So those inconsistencies exist in real life.
It wasn't a pun though, was it? Just a description / title many of us misread.It actually makes me laugh people thought it was dam phair. Damp hair is like the most obvious pun in in the world
