Just curious, how does everybody here pronounce the names of the summons in this game? I'd been pronouncing Belias as "Bell-e-ihs" for a while, but more often lately, it's seemed better to me to pronounce it to rhyme with the name "Elias." Here are some of the others:

Mateus - "Ma-tay-ihs"
Adrammelech - "A-drah-muh-leck"
Zalera - "Za-lair-uh"
Shemhazai - "Shem-hah-zay"
Cuchulainn - "Coo-chool-ain"
Exodus - standard, the way anyone would pronounce "exodus"
Hashamal - "Ha-sha-mal"
Zeromus - "Zero-mis"
Famfrit - two syllables, seems obvious
Chaos - standard
Ultima - "Uhl-tih-muh"
Zodiark - same as zodiac, except with "ark" at the end instead

Mateus - "Ma-tay-uus"
Shemhazai - "Shem-ha-zI" (like the letter 'I' at the end)
Cuchulainn - "Coo-choo-line"
Hashamal - "Ha-sha-mal"
Zeromus - "Zay-ro-muhs"
Famfrit - "Fahm-freet"
Ultima - "Uhl-tee-muh"


The others I pronounce the same~

Belias - Belly-Ahss (accented A)
Adrammelech - "Ad-ram-ma-lech" (you know the "ch" from the throat... lol I'm Israeli so naturally any foriegn word where "ch" is pronounced like "K", usually German. I may be wrong though but I think this Esper's name comes from Hebrew because "melech" is king, dunno about the first part.
Mateus - Muh-tay-us
Zalera - Zuh-lair-uh
Shemhazai - Shem-huh-zye
Cuchulainn - Koo-choo-lane (probably wrong but that's how I say it)
Exodus - ...
Hashmal - First of all, it's "Hashmal" and not "Hashamal". Secondly, it's funny because in modern Hebrew the word "Hashmal" (pronounced Chashmal with the throat "ch") means ELECTRICITY. That's immediately what I imagined when I first got to him, but here he is using earthy tricks. Makes absolutely no sense and sounds funny, but I pronounce his name like the word with the H as a throated "ch" like "Chahsh-mahl"
Zeromus - Sometimes Zero-miss and sometimes "zuh-roe-muss".
Fanfrit - How it's spelled, not to mention just how Cid pronounces it.
Chaos - ...
Ultima - ...
Zodiark - Like Zodiac with "ark" at the end.
