Namarie - Nam (Vietnam)-ar-E
I'm sorry. I thought I wasn't going to post in this thread but I guess I must.

Namarie: Na-mar-e-ay.

WARNING: this thread is quickly becoming nonsense in a forum that isn't supposed to be nonsense. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] In the back of ROTK (and the Sil) there is a pronunciation guide for each letter. Take that, and let an expert in phonetics/linguistics (Tolkien himself) guide you onto the straight path.

As for Tolkien; if a person who HAS the last name "Tolkien" (IE Christopher Tolkien) pronounces it "Toll-keen", then "Toll-keen" is the correct pronunciation.
