Re: Pronunciation of Charikleia?
QuoteHow are Charikleia and Chariklia pronounced in Greek?
If by "Greek" you exclusively mean "modern Greek", then I can tell you the following:Charikleia and Chariklia are both written as Χαρίκλεια, which means that both will be pronounced the same in modern Greek. According to Wiktionary, the modern Greek IPA pronunciation of Χαρίκλεια is /xaˈɾi.kli.a/ :https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Χαρίκλεια#Pronunciation (in English)I put that pronunciation into the Submit A Name form of BtN (using a test name) and the preview automatically simplified it to kha-REE-klee-a.For pronunciation differences between ancient Greek and modern Greek, please see:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet#Sound_values (in English; be sure to also scroll down to the two separate tables for consonant letters and vowel letters, of which the latter will be the most relevant for Χαρίκλεια)
