Is there any way to know how to pronounce "Mau"? ''Mao'' (Zedong), ''Moe'' (Stooge)? There may be hundreds of Pratchett words we don't really know how to pronounce. If it works for you, of course, it's all right, but then they'll make a TV movie with a different pronunciation. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 23:53, 26 March 2010 (UTC) | Is there any way to know how to pronounce "Mau"?

Aha. See {{wp|Mau Piailug|Mau Piailug}} in Wikipedia. According to a recent episode of ''Nova'' on American PBS, this is pronounced as "Mao". --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 03:43, 6 October 2016 (UTC) | |||

I don't have a book, but if you do and that's what it says, you don't need more confirmation. The whole sentence wants fixing, anyway. --Old Dickens 01:34, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Pronunciation
Is there any way to know how to pronounce "Mau"? Mao (Zedong), Moe (Stooge)? There may be hundreds of Pratchett words we don't really know how to pronounce. If it works for you, of course, it's all right, but then they'll make a TV movie with a different pronunciation. --Old Dickens 23:53, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
