I w1n.
Who gives a crap about Germany.

In Swedish is Graal = Grail

In french is Graal = Grail

I also say "Grawl". But I only do this because I pronounce it the way I do in Swedish. The actual meaning of the word is Grail in Swedish aswell. So if I want to pronounce it in english I would say Grail. Not Graal. Because Graal is not a word in the english vocabulary.

The end. Thank you.

Do you call your mom "mamma"? Probably not. Because you don't speak my language.

Then why the hell should you pronounce Graal as Grawl. If your not speaking french or any other language. When it obviously means GRAIL. In english.

I have always pronounced it "Grawl" because that is what it looked like it was pronounced when I first saw it.
Habit will make me continue to say it that way, even if it is wrong, because it wouldn't sound right any other way.

It's a name of something. Names aren't supposed to be translated. Though often they have been in the past... in our modern-era people are generally more respectful to diversity and accept a name in it's original language to preserve its essence. I can think of some games that are OFFICIALLY translated to an english name for english-speaking players.
Graal offers NO official translated name. Nowhere on the website will you see it officially called "Grail".

I'll pronounce "Grail" as "Grail". But I'll pronounce "Graal" as "Graal" (grawl).
I don't know what your language is, but I'm speaking English.

Also, you were responding to a post where I was simply showing someone else's words. Notice the quotation marks. MY name isn't Kamuii.

I personally pronounce it differently than either of that :O
'Graal' with the a's sounding like the 'a's in '-ack'
It sounds really weird to me if I say it any other way, seeing as I've always said it as 'Graal'. Makes no sense whatsoever but it sounds fine to me

This is my favourite definition of it though, lol:
