However the definition of shako is "a cylindrical or conical military hat with a brim and a plume or pom-pom."
So the word "shako" with the pronunciation of "shack-o" does not fit the description of the item in the game.
Therefore I postulate a real shako and its pronunciation are completely different from the shako in the game. In the world of Sanctuary a Shako is a type of leather cap, with a name that is pronounced "shay-ko".

Can be used to make Runewords:
Honestly - after replying with what I typically use I started to think specifically about Shako and how Sha- Ko makes more sense when it comes to the English language. However, I can't get over the fact that "shayko" just sounds better to my ears. I have an issue I wish I didn't have now... Thanks. :')

There are many terms that are clearly used/borrowed from weaponry, armor, etc, that are not 1:1 what is pictured in the game.
There are other examples as well, but these are off the top of my head lol.
Who's to say those aren't also words that that exist in Sanctuary that coincidentally are an english word for a very similar type of weapon/armor with the same spelling. Maybe in Sanctuary what we know as a cleaver is called a Choppy Fatboy.BMAY wrote: 4 years agoWhile I recognize your logical attempt at rationale, i must protest!Noemard wrote: 4 years agoHowever the definition of shako is "a cylindrical or conical military hat with a brim and a plume or pom-pom."

But that's exactly my point though. No one can say for certain, but we do know how these words are pronounced in English, and can assume how the dev's intended/pronounced them, so it stands to reason we go with what has already been established compared to what we have to imagine.
Ultimately, there cannot be anything proven clearly in a fictitious setting, but I have good evidence and logic for thinking my way is more probable.
This hill -> Me -> *dies*

I've seen a lot of good arguments in this thread for pronunciations. I think moving forward I will start saying "Shack-oh" instead of "Shay- Ko" if I can help it. Which will be a bit of a challenge since 95% of the youtubers I watch say "Shay- Ko" already. But it just seems wrong now that I think about it and looked into the pronunciation of the actual word more. I'll try to switch my frame of reference from "Sork" to "Sorse" as well. Always room for improvement!
If I ever heard someone say "sodge" out loud, I don't even know what I would do. Back away slowly? Strike their number from my contacts?
There's also a thing where if you mispronounce a word in a Youtube video and a user replies to it attempting to correct you, that's a larger engagement credit than a simple like or dislike and you're more likely to get a promoted video for each engagement hit. You couldn't do it all the time as you'd eventually lose viewers, but if you sprinkle in occasional mispronunciations you can game the algorithm really well. I personally think that kind of wrecks our language and is a little sociopathic, but apparently it's a thing.
As a French player, I only relate to those pronunciation when I hear English speaking streamers do it. I actually pronounce
All of those with French accent and you wouldn't want to hear that xD
Like :
Io rune is ayo in english but yo in french
Sur is Sir in enligsh but Sür (as in über) in french
Gul is goule in english but Gül in french
Eth is kinda Eff in english but Ett in french
Pul would be pull in EN and Pül in french
Ber is Bear in french
