This is how I would pronounce them...and from what I can tell from NPCs who actually say the names:

Seyda Neen- Sigh-Duh Neen (neen is pronounced like knee with an 'n' but putting a k in a pronuctiation is incorrect)

Balmora - Ball More Ah (your first guess)

Hlaalu - La Luu. (I believe the "h" is silent)

Gnisis - I personally like nee-sis, but I have a bad feeling that it is nih-sis

Tal Branora - Tahl Brah-nohr-ah (Tahl rhymes with Hal)

Like I said, this is just how I pronounce them. A lot of the cities and towns, you can hear NPCs pronounce if you listen carefully.

Gives a bad feeling ay? Hehehe
Little History Listen...
Most languages started in the middle east(Since this is pretty much where "Intelligent"(Yea OK) Life started. Therefore ALOT of words have arabic sounding roots since the first languaf=ges were most likely Hebrew and Arabic (latin formed from these). I am not trying to be a smart a$$.
But if you are of 90% of the religions in the world most of the figures have Hebrew and Arabic names (Job, Mohammed, Jesus, Jehova, Moses, Ala, Noah) So do not Fear. LOL

What realt cracks me up is the way WHITE SUPREMIST who call themselves Christians don't like Jewish, but there Whole religion is based in Jewish Theology. Now that just shows how STUPID and Ignorant they are.

By the way I am French & Choctah Indian, and Grew up Methodist, My Dad grew up Catholic and My Mom Southern Babtist. I consider myself...AMERICAN (Basically we true americans are so mixed up we are basically the Muts of the world)

Thank You for all your Flames to come.

After all these posts you people still haven't realised Tal Branora doesn't exist. It's Tel Branora (with an e, not an a).
