The correct Pronunciation of Graal, according to my grandpa, who is from Mid-eastern Europe, is "Grawl".

I say it "grail" because it makes the most sense. Four Graals.

But who knows, Graal may be German for Grail, and pronounced Grawl.

Also, cow melking haha

I think it's pronounced as Grail. And when some of you think it's pronouced Grawl, it would of been spelled Grall. TADA! You heard' it right straight from the horses mouth!

Read my earlier post. My grandfather, who speaks some German and is from mid-eastern Europe, says it is pronounced "Grawl"...Find me solid evidence that it is pronounced "Grail" and I will believe you.

Graal = Grail in french
I have no idea why the game called Graal if its not related to the game at all.

Stefan has clarified this before, as you'll see if you do a search on these boards. To say it is pronounced "Grawl" is meaningless because Americans pronounce those letters differently to everyone else. It is so: Grarl. And to split it up further: Gr Ah L.
