    Default Pronouncing Balamb

    I know you're tired of these, but I REALLY don't want to sound like an idiot!

    I say BaLAMB and some people say BAlamb.

    Do you know which way is correct? Pleeeease don't start a gigantic debate over it, I just want to know which way is right so I'm not mispronouncing it XD

    BaLaMb always sounded right to me.

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
    Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?

    Balam' is the correct pronounciation.
    The below sentence is true.
    The above sentence is false.

    It's which syllable gets the emphasis that's puzzling me.

    But I am not adverse to using any of the other pronunciations listed here. I use them all almost interchangeably.

    b’LAM! Extra emphasis on the LAM!. I usually shout it, and point at things.
