What's the Right Way to Pronounce Fasnacht?

-

I’ve been wondering about the proper pronunciation of “Fasnacht”. I’m thinking it might be pronounced “fash-naunt”, but I’ve caught myself saying “fat-snatch” in my head! I also had been using “hell-vee-tuh” for Helvetia, but I’ve heard it’s actually pronounced “hell-vee-shuh”? Just a fun fact: I live in West Virginia and have visited Helvetia, so I guess the Appalachian dialect might be affecting how I say it!

Just listen to the NPCs in the game; they say it like every five seconds! That’s how I nailed the pronunciation. It’s all in the accent, you know?

Wait, there’s actual audio in this game? I had no idea!

I found a vid on YouTube that breaks it down well! The key is in the first part; it’s like “fast” without the “t”, and the second part sounds like “knocked” but a bit more hissing. Here’s the link to the video if you want some extra help!

From what I’ve heard, the correct pronunciation is “Fahs-naht” for Fasnacht, and “Hell-veeshah” for Helvetia. I live a little ways from there, and that’s definitely how the locals say it!

Totally agree! I love visiting that area; the food is amazing!

Honestly, I’ve been calling it “fat-snatch” too! 😂 But I’m working on saying “Fahs-naht” now; it sounds much more official!
