![]() In one of the movie interviews, at some point, and I can't remember where or when, someone said that in the dwarvish language the "Th" in Thorin was pronounced as "T", so that might explain the "Torin" pronunciation.Īlso, (I don't think I've heard anyone else mention this before) when Gandalf wakes Thorin on the Carrock at the end of AUJ, it always sounds to me as though he is saying "Torin" not "Thorin", but maybe it's just the way I'm hearing it.Īnd once again the world has not arranged itself just for me. "Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth." -Albert Einstein "Thor" (as in The Hammerer) "in" as in - "in" - Thorin.Ĭould the "h" actually be silent? Anyone.?Īnd Gollum as in "golly" - "um" as in "gum". I've always pronounced the two names as they appear. Gollum is pronounced as it was in the films so think it's safe to say PJ took his pronunciations from these recordings. Don't know if he is recorded as saying Thorin but there are quite a few of his reading of the riddle scene. Go to YouTube and look for 'Tolkien reads' and you can hear the professor pronounce many of the names in his works. Does any one know the correct pronouncistion of thorin and of gollum in my 1968 bbc radio drama of the hobbit thorin is pronounced torin and gollum is pronounced golloom. Not my fault my english teacher was a hippy. The One Ring Forums: Tolkien Topics: Main: pronounciationĪppologies all for any miss spelling. ![]()
