How is it pronounced?


I'm not wondering about the Castle of part, but the Cagliostro part. It's kind of confusing and I've come up of a few different ways how I think it is pronounced. So what is the right way?

reply

The dubbing pronounces it 'cah-lee-os-tro'.

The original prononces it that way, too.

actually, it's pronounced ca-lee-ah-stro.

The characters pronounce it in different ways:
Lupin: cal-lee-oh-stro
Jigen: cah-le-ah-stro
Clarese(sic): cah-le-ah-stro
Archbishop: cal-lee-oh-stro
Count: cah-le-ah-stro
Archbishop's driver: cah-lee-ah-stro
That's all I can think of now.

it WOULD kind of make sense that lupin and the archbishop pronounce it the same, what with *spoiler* the archbishop being lupin in disguise anyway.

Ha.

It's an Italian word.

The G is silent. The O is pronounced like "oh."

reply

the original pronounce is CAGLIOSTRO,since it's Italian.Heh

reply

It is an italian name. The "g" is not silent, but form with the "l" an own sound. "gli" is pronounced (here with a silent "i", since it is followed by another vowel) similar to the spanish "ll" or "lj" in some other languages.

The name is pronounced cah-Lo-stro, where L is this sound.

It's Italian and I know that "gli" is pronounced lyee, so I guess "ca-lyee-OH-stroh"...

reply

It's pronounced "Cag-lee-oh-stro"... Bear in mind that two of the original Arsène Lupin novels by Maurice Leblanc included the name "Cagliostro" and the novel were originally published in french... In french, as well as in italian, it is pronounced "Cag-lee-oh-stro"... I have just aked a couple of italian co-workers as to how they would pronounce it...
