Can't stand my Consular pronouncing it "Qwyzen."

Which one is right and how do you know?

 

Personally, I don't know for sure, except for the fact that "Q" doesn't intrinsically have a "W" sound with it. It's just that people often think it does, since most words in the English language that start with "Q" happen to immediately follow it with a "U", such as Queen or Quick. If they had spelled it "Quyzen" or "Qwyzen", then that would be different. But since we hear two pronunciations in game, I'm inclined to go with the one that more closely follows the rules, which is to pronounce it as though it were just a "K".

Yeah, I noticed that about the female Consular as well.

 

Fortunately, she does a pretty solid Imperial (British) English accent in the storyline when impersonating a Sith (because I guess all Imperials talk the same way?), so I forgive the voice actress.
