Note that this is purely subjective, don't try to force your opinions on pronunciation to other people. They never really pronounce the names "officially", so it's just not cool. Oh, and it's just pronunciation.
Without Further Ado:

Gee-Ah-Drome
Cee-Pha-Drome
Keez-Ooh
Please-Ee-Oth
Cee-En-Taur
Fay-Tal-Is
Jip-Sir-Os
Shen Gow-Rhen
Tee-Grex
Nar-Gah-Coug-Ah
Koo-Sha-La Dao-Rah
Kee-Rhin

Phonetics meng.

And I thought it was see-ena-tar? There's an "a" in-between the Cean and taur, right?

We're all part of a larger world, as one of it's countless fragments. All their shapes and colors are unique. It's nice, yet sad...

i never understood why some people could pronounce rathalos normally (wrath-a-lōs), but would say rathian like "wraith-ian"

also, at first i assumed kushula daora was taken from Chinese (like shen and lao) so i pronounced it "dow-rah". still not sure on this, so i just call it kush.

Which way do you pronounce it then? "Wrath-ian", "Wrath-ee-an", or "Wrath-eye-an"? I guess mine is a mix of the first two.
Daora is a little harder, I usually say "Da-oh-rah", though "Dow-rah" is much easier to say. XD

Yian Kut-ku= Yian kute-ku
Rathalos= Rothalos (not o as in "go", o as in "on")
Teostra= Toe-estra

That's mostly it... otherwise I say them all normally. Although I guess two of the ones on my list are normal... oh well.
An angel who has been lost to the mortal world. That is the definition of the lost angel.

Hey that's an awesome pronunciation list you got going there. Made some fixes as to how I say it, but I'm in no way saying that I'm correct. The fixes are just to coincide with my own pronunciation of the words.

However, I've noticed that if I have a dyslexic tendency, I can further butcher the spelling. I think for the longest time (first 300 hours) I referred to a Gypceros as a Guy-sip-er-oss because I was wrong about the placement of the letter 'c' in the word.

I wondered if you did the same thing for a Daimyo Hermitaur.... I mean, you spelled it differently and pronounced it like your own spelling.
(that, I can say, is the only thing I fixed of what you said)

Anyway, I agreed with most of that, and thanks for getting an awesome list together!
^ _ ^
