Are you referring to Aslan the lion? If so then "ass lan" is the correct pronunciation.

Even "aslan" would have been acceptable, but in the movie, several people put notable pause between as and lan, making it come out as "ass lan".

"ass lan".

would that be cat3,5, or 6?  :lol:

the emphasis is on the as of aslan so that might be what you are picking up.

@Cyberus,

Quoted for your amusement;

2) Perhaps it was the translations to the movie, perhaps it was the accents of the actors. I knew nothing of the book....

Have a great morning.

That is the correct pronunctiation in English.

American English may differ I guess.

It's just occured to me (having not seen the film), that many actors in it have regional English accents... that probably threw off Waynes American ears!! :-)

For those of you who cannot read Swedish, this is a serious attempt to get the piracy-ageanda into the Riksdag. Their goal is severely loosened copyright laws.

I hear the sequel focuses on Tony Blair, Condoleeza Rice and the war in Iraq... it'll be called The Liar, The B¡tch and the War Probe.
