You know what I find really jarring about when there’s a conlang or a different species in fantasy or scifi TV or film?
They clearly don’t give the actors and instruction on pronunciation. They just cut them loose and you get actors who all have their individual takes on how to pronounce a word so they all say the word differently. Drives me absolutely nuts. Hire a linguist or a speech pathologist for a day as a consultant and get your pronunciations on the same page, please.
