Graal,
although it depends in what ;angauge its spelt,
if that was using english grammar, and english prenunciation,
it would be grawl, two As make that sound..
like Kazaa, two A's are basically the same sound as one A but longer...

although if it was a different langauge na dprenunciation then I dont know, for instance my name is spelled Feivel,
normal sense would say Is should come before e's
and that my name would sound like Fayvel or Feevel,
but considering it is a Yiddish name, and Yiddish is a mix of hebrew and German, it is prenounced Fivel. The reason for this is, in German when there are two vowels next to eachother, the prenunciation is on the second vowwel, thats why blitzkrieg is prenounced blitzkreeg

I before E except after C

It's supposed Grarl, in a nasal French tone. It is, after all, a French word.


But I say Grawl most of the time. Stefan should make an mp3 or wav of himself saying graal and post it.

its grail because if you shmucks didnt notice a grail is a goblet type cup and a while back on graal you had to collect grails!!!! thats why its called graal!

Its pronounced GRAIL.

Hey, every notice how those movies were english? And you know, had a different spelling? The word "Graal" is French. Hence the different pronounciation. Duh. It's Graal, Stefan already said it wasn't pronounced "Grail."

You and all these other "Grail" idiots can go kill yourselves, because two "a"s being next to each other can never and will never be pronounced "ai." Also, a grail was a goblet cup, but it is pronounced completely differently in the game. Ok, you can now shoot yourself.

It's not pronounced "grawl" either, idiot. It's just the closest you can get to the term on the computer without saying it. I'd imagine it's a like gra-ahl with a carried "a" sound, since that's most likely what a double "a" sounds like.

i refuse to pronounce it "grail"
it just sounds so wrong
it's Gr-all for me

Good god, learn the English language. Two 'a's form the phonetic sound "aw." As in aardvark. As in "aagodyouareanidiotdie."

Graal is the French word for grail. What with being in French and all, it might, just might have a different pronounciation.

If it's a French word, it's not pronounced Gr-al.
