Do you call your mom "mamma"? Probably not. Because you don't speak my language.

Then why the hell should you pronounce Graal as Grawl. If your not speaking french or any other language. When it obviously means GRAIL. In english.

It's a name of something. Names aren't supposed to be translated. Though often they have been in the past... in our modern-era people are generally more respectful to diversity and accept a name in it's original language to preserve its essence. I can think of some games that are OFFICIALLY translated to an english name for english-speaking players.
Graal offers NO official translated name. Nowhere on the website will you see it officially called "Grail".

I'll pronounce "Grail" as "Grail". But I'll pronounce "Graal" as "Graal" (grawl).
I don't know what your language is, but I'm speaking English.

Also, you were responding to a post where I was simply showing someone else's words. Notice the quotation marks. MY name isn't Kamuii.
