Fremen pronouncing yells

[Timenn]

You may have heard that different people have different ways of pronouncing the Fremen sayings. Like Bi-La Kaifa, Ya Hya Chouhada, Taqwa etc.

There is no way to determin the right way of pronouncing, since the English language is as irregular as the movement of a photon :)

But I like to know, what is your way to pronounce it. I mean which one do you like most.

Please write in some sort of phonetic language. Or add a sound file.

My ways:

Ya Hya Chouhada:

Y (as in you)

a (as in father)

H (as in hat)

y (as in three)

a (as in father)

Ch (as t-s-you)

ou (as in you)

h (as in hat)

a (as in father)

d (as in day)

a (as in father)

Bi-La Kaifa:

B (as in boat)

i (as in three)

L (as in late)

a (as in father)

K (as in come)

a (as in father)

i (as in three

f (as in very)

a (a long a)

Taqwa:

T (as in take)

a (as in father)

q (as in come)

w (as in way)

a (a long a)

Please post yours

Mostly the same - in BrE:

Ya Hya Chouhada:

H (pronouced more from the back of the maouth than the back of the throatas in hat)

y (as in three)

a (as in father)

Chou (=chew)

h (as in hat)

a (as in cat)

d (as in day)

a (as in cat)

Bi-La Kaifa:

B (as in boat)

i (ee as in three)

L (as in late)

a (as in father)

K (as in come)

a (as in cat)

i (as in three)

f (as in father)

a (as in cat)

Taqwa:

Like Ya Hya Chouhada would be this :

Ch(as in sh)

Ou(as in ow)

Ha(as in ah)
