watch the avengers the movie part 2 it has t' challa in it so they say his name alot.

It's T'Challa. Like you were saying your going to church. Followed by the Muslim god Allah. Or however you spell it. T-(going to)- Ch- (church)- alla- (Allah)
T-Ch-alla. That's how it's pronounced. Next issue.

Why do you desperately want to know Gentle's name? I mean seriously, its just a name..

Why do you wanna know T'Challa's name? Since we're in the asking mood.

Cause the spelling was "weird"

And Nezhno, isn't? "Weird" that is.

Well its "weirder", that what I'm saying..

I always say 'Tuhtsjalla'

Can't write it out any better of how i pronounce it :p

Why would you say it like that?! That's odd. spider2dfly said:

"Weirder" is a matter of perspective.

that's fair!

Not really sure, but I think this was a topic for another thread. Anyway, after watching the second Marvel Comic's Ultimate Avengers movie, I'd have to conclude his name is pronounced something like Tuh-cha-la. As for the historical references Static pointed out, T'Challa's father -- T'Chaka -- apparently owe his given name to an colonial era Zulu Chief. Here in the states (and presumably in South Africa) his name is pronounced with a silent T, now if it's okay to apply that same grammar to his son who has a similarly spelled name (T'Challa with a silent T) than I surmise the pronounciation that Babs uses is more or less correct. I alternate how I pronounce it under special circumstances. Either Tuh-cha-la or Cha-la. To get the right consonant for the name you would have to imitate an African accent, otherwise T'Challa (with a silent T) would sound like the name of some cute plush doll.

And we won't have none of that!

How do you say Namor.
Is it Nay-more
or Nah-more
or Nuh-more
??????????????????

"I pronounce it as T-Ch-alla. Some people say that the T at the beginning is supposed to be silent, due to African vernacular. Babs pronounces it without the T."

I have no real issue with what you said, but you do categorise Africa as if it is one country because you said "To get the right consonant for the name you would have to imitate an African accent". To be honest most countries don't have a single accent and Africa is a continent (emphasis on the word). So like a continent it has many dialects and languages which vary greatly as you travel from region to region. For example Swahili in Uganda (where I'm from) is different from Swahili in Kenya. Even though the languages are pretty much the same certain words are pronounced differently and there are words that's meaning varies between countries. Its not only you, but many people seem to look at Africa as a country and nobody understands that wherever you go in Africa things vary between the people, culture, language, accent, fashion, food, dialect and political/religious views. Anyway my point is that we don't have a single accent in Africa and it just annoys me when people assume we do. By the way according to the UA2, T'Challa is pronounced tuh-challa (or however you wanna spell the sound)Anyway stay blessedPeace"
