How to Pronounce Portia?

[DastardlyRomantic]

Since there is more voice acting, I've noticed that some characters pronounce it like POOR-SHUH while others pronounce it POOR-TEE-UH (Specifically, Remington says it like Poor-shuh, while Aadit and Dawa say Poor-tee-uh.) How many are on team Civil Corps and pronounce it Poor-shuh? How many on team Tree Farm that pronounce it Poor-Tee-Uh?

Personally I prefer Portia, but I guess Portia is valid too.


All jokes aside I think someone said that the devs themselves pronounce it "Por-tee-uh", so I would assume that that's the correct one.

But then who knows, considering how this is the game that has seven brothers who all sound like they come from completely different parts of the world.

I think it's kind of a clever way to add character to the game - whether intended or not. (Voice actors remotely reading lines off of a script or by design)

I'm not sure that many games at all have characters pronounce the same word differently throughout the voice acting, which is not really realistic to how we function in the real world. People say things all kinds of funny ways depending on social environment and region.

I've been saying POOR-SHUH and I'm sticking to it.

I say Poor-shuh but I prefer Poor-tee-uh. My time in Poor-shuh sounds dirty to me.

Pretty much all the characters say Porsha (with Dr Xu being a notable exception).

An older thread but exactely THIS just came crossing my mind ^^

From the first momenti saw this game in my recommendations i spelled it Port_iah / POOR-TEE-UH (as in Port like Harbour).

I originally, before playing, thought it was Por-tee-yah. Because Por-sha (spelled Portia too) is actually a name and I have a aunt with that name. But then I played the game and everyone said Poor-shuh. Now we got voice acting saying it different. I dunno *shrug*

Por-shyuh for me. That's what naturally came to mind.

Words like nation, station, carnation, and so on has that "sh" sound. Doesn't make sense I know....

English was never an easy language to read, as a teacher to Primary kids, I totally get the confusion...

Poor-chuh

Porch-yuh
