Brujah - how to read?

Post by Raa »

How is "Brujah" pronounced correctly? Is it "Broo-zha" or "Broo-huh"? I've heard both versions in the game!
ROMERO: If you should see any zombies in that time, you need to put them down. Just don't let them bite you.
PC: Why? Do you turn into a zombie if they bite you?
ROMERO: Naw, it just hurts like a bitch.

I've been around livers, they've always said Brew-hah.

Brujah is from the Spanish, through south america via the slave trade, and refers specifically to a voudoun priest. It's properly pronounced as it is spelled in accordance with proper Spanish: Bru-ha. Jack's pronunciation in the conversation in the Last Round is the closest. The game was programmed in the USA, and they tend to play fast and loose with their pronunciation, especially in foreign languages. No offense, USA. That's just how it is. Any members from Haiti or the Dominican Republic are free to correct me if I have erred.

Correct that: I'd have to include about 2/3rds of South America.
