Midnight Sun Pronunciation Guide

Hello Runners, Morgan here! I was originally going to be putting up the first in a series of articles about the narrative direction of Midnight Sun and the Borealis Cycle overall, some examples of what it was like working on the set, and what plans I have for the future… but unfortunately, some other circumstances have forced me to postpone that article. It’ll be up soon though, rest assured! 

In the meantime, here is the in-progress pronunciation guide for Midnight Sun! This was to be published alongside the aforementioned article. You’ll note that only cards previewed up to and including this publication date and time are included, but when the full set is released, we’ll publish a full pronunciation guide (and update this article to link to it). I’ll also be including some small notes on meanings or flavour once the set has been fully released.

I’d also like to personally thank NISEI Editor Ginevra Martin for their immense work handling the vast majority of this guide, as well as very special thanks to Oguz Han “lostgeek” Asnaz, Svetlana Tchistiakova and Brian “Saan” Williams for consulting with us for not only pronunciation but also other important questions related to linguistics.

Pronunciations are in IPA where available, then an approximation of phonetic pronunciation in Latin characters, and then Cyrillic script if relevant. If you’re unfamiliar with IPA, you can use an online tool like IPA Reader to vocalize the provided IPA pronunciations.
