Oo-rist, with a tremendously guttural R. Not that silly smooth thing you keep finding in English.

Yur-ist

Never imagined it any other way, though I can totally see now how it can be read any number of ways.

I have recorded many an "Urist."  It is time for the community to re-listen.  :)

Here are two:

Episode 1: http://www.bay12games.com/media/df_talk_3_teaser_1.mp3
Episode 2: http://www.bay12games.com/media/Dorf%20Shorts%20-%20Thas%20Grreat!.mp3
That last one was awesome :D

Anyways, who decided that Dwarves are Scottish?
Or do we have Gimli to thank for that?

Hollywood it seems. They should have Germanic accents of some kind. In Hollywood, Vikings are Scottish and Scotsmen are Irish. Welshmen don't exist and British people are English. Greeks are also North-Western European for some reason.

I say Oo-rist.

Perhaps the community should do some work on constructing the Dwarven language (Dwarfish?), accent, pronunciation and everything. It's been done before; look at Avatar or Klingon.
