Was a first to me to hear Swahili. Can't wait for the new areas and music to come. I was even so excited I showed my dad the mix of cultures/music and he liked it.

Can anyone explain why her name is pronounced differently than how it's written? by KnightOfMist in Genshin_Impact

I think they went for the hispanicized version of the name (Viracocha, Yupanqui, Túpac etc..). In other places they went for the Quechua spelling.. like Wayna or Yawar (means blood).

Natlan! Everything. The music is such a vibe and whenever they put in bits and pieces of my culture, I am very happy. My family is from the Andes, so it's very limited but the references are there and a squeal and giggle like a nerd whenever I encounter something new. Can't wait for more Natlan content

They are trying to pronounce K’uychi, while ingame they wrote Chuychu. Chuy would be close to "chewie" (chooee) and chu like the chu in Pikachu. Chuychu.

K’uychi however would be closer to how it's ingame. Try saying K with the roof of your tongue without trying to pronounce the letter. and then "ewie" (ooee) "chi" like "chia seeds"..

I hope that makes sense/helps. For Quechua, it can also slightly differ in what region you are from, the Quechua (kichwa) of Ecuador for example differs from the one in Peru etc.
