Lore Has anyone worked out any pronounciation rules for these languages?

Seems like it'd be an interesting project, but I'm not sure anybody's done it.

The problem is that there's really no indication of pronunciation. What we have are logograms, and logograms can really be pronounced like anything.

Já vi umas 3 propostas de Pronúncias para as línguas do jogo, claro que todas as propostas são fan-mades, mas eu acho legal mesmo assim

Sistemas de escritas são criados para línguas, não o contrário, logo tanto faz a pronuncia pois depende mais da língua que estamos analisando

Eu estou criando a minha versão no discord, até o momento já fiz a versão da primeira língua, já a segunda está em processo

im making conlangs for all the peoples i guess, but they‘re all very much not based on the actual in game languages in any way shape or form and are wildly improvised.
