@Veldtian1 No, it would be impossible to pronounce Cthulhu. There's two reasons. One there are many ways of spelling Cthulhu, that one is only the most common. Example ; Kthulu, Ktulu C'thuluhu, Kuhthulu. These are only a few, also as quoted from "MdP2s" comment "because this name is supposed to be impossible to pronounce by human languages" You'd need to dislocate your vocal chords to pronounce Cthulhu properly but even then it would be impossible to speak.
According to the documentary Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown, Lovecraft meant the name to be pronounced Coo-lu. This was to reflect the inability of the human to pronounce the name correctly and thus emphasize or hype up the alien nature of the creature. Different pronunciations came with the subsequent lore and people adapted many aspects of the stories. They're still super fun though! YAY!

@MdP2 H.P. Lovecraft wanted the pronunciation to be different to everyone. In the story he said the word was unspeakable and that everyone had it differently. This is probably closer to the truth than you'd like to admit!
@IUseUtoob4Pr0n There's no correct way of pronouncing "Cthulhu" because this name is supposed to be impossible to pronounce by human languages and human vocal cords. However, it's definitely not supposed to sound like "coolio" (the Rapper). In 1934 Lovecraft explained that "Cthulhu" (sometimes written "C'thulhu") was supposed to sound like two syllables spelled by contracting your tongue at the roof of your mouth while saying the "c't" right before coughing the rest of the word, like "ctÚ-lhu".
@MdP2 You are using logic and points that prove my point. Nobody is pronouncing it Coolio, I really want to know where the 'i' in this is. The video is saying Khulu in fact this only thing missing is a fricative. You can't claim that Lovecraft declared no official pronunciation and then go on to say one pronunciation is wrong. Any pronunciations that are given by the stories are accounts of the characters and nothing close to the actual name. It's similar to the Gojira and Godzilla difference.
@IUseUtoob4Pr0n "You can't claim that Lovecraft declared no official pronunciation and then go on to say one pronunciation is wrong"
But what exactly is your point? Are you saying that if we pronounce it "kangaroo" or "khalid" that's acceptable? There's no "correct" way of saying "Cthulhu" but Lovecraft explained how it sounded (it's in my previous comment) and it definitely didn't sound like "coolio". The voice on the video says "coolio", not "cthulhu" ("ctú-lhu").
@MdP2 The voice in the video says Khulu, and Lovecraft himself did not say that. A character in one of his stories claimed thats how he heard the word. Maybe in some other characters mind it was pronounced Kangarooloo. The way you'd say a word is different to different groups of people take Elementary and Elementry both of which mean grade school but people truly pronounce it differently depending on where you are. The same can be applied here since characters heard the word in their dreams.
@MdP2 "Coolio"? I do not hear an 'i' sound anywhere in that video. I've played it a dozen times and asked several people what the word is that is being said and not one of them claims it to be coolio, I've heard cooloo, khulu, kalu. Point out to me the diphthong in what the guy says. I've not heard it yet.
Lovecraft said in one story that this is how a character described what he heard but even that was incorrect. He'd applaud this video for turning the name into something else.
@MdP2 It's amazing that he creates creatures that have a spoken language that goes way beyond our own vocabulary and this species can pronounce things far beyond human capabilities but we still try to comprehend it. The sound is incomprehensible and Lovecraft never once wrote a letter to his fans or added a foot note "Oh this character is pronouncing it Kladoo but I want all of you to pronounce it C'thulhu."
I never mentioned a letter to his fans. In 1934 Lovecraft explained IN A LETTER TO ONE OF HIS COLLEAGUES how it was supposed to sound: two syllables spelled by contracting your tongue at the roof of your mouth while saying the "c't" right before coughing the rest of the word, like "ctÚ-lhu".
@MdP2 As a youtube video once said: "Do you have 9 tongues kid?" "What?" "Tongues, do you have nine of them?" "No..." "Do you have a maw over nine meters wide?" "No, but-" "Then forget about it kid. It is a word not made for mortal mouths."
@MdP2 Yeah, and ISN'T IT FUNNY how when you say in Arabic, "Satan is the forsaker of mankind," the word forsaker sounds like "kadhulu". And ISN'T IT EVEN MORE FUNNY that the Chinese kui tao lai hao means "ancient oceanic underwater demon"?
@Dracopol REALLY? That sounds interesting. If so, it doesn't even have to mean that Lovecraft had heard the Chinese [or the Arabic, despite his story of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred]. Jung called it the Collective Unconscious. Some people have the ability to tap into it and pick up and know things that there is no way they could have consciously found out anything about them. Perhaps that was true here.
@hypnodance In 1934 Lovecraft explained in a letter to one of his colleagues how it was supposed to sound: two syllables spelled by contracting your tongue at the roof of your mouth while saying the "c't" right before coughing the rest of the word, like "ctú-lhu". I never heard anyone saying "Cloo-loo" with an "L" but hey I guess these days everything goes. S. T. Joshi has some interesting bibliographic works on H. P. Lovecraft - You might want to check them.
According to HP Lovecraft the closest thing to the real pronounciation human vocal chords could produce would be 'Khlûl'-hloo'. The pronounciation you advocate became popular long after HP Lovecrafts death.
@LamaPaj I don't think you got my point. Please check my comments in order to understand it, especially the comments regarding the 1934 letter in which Lovecraft explained how to pronounce "Cthulhu" (Ktûlhoo).
Lovecraft said, that his version of the pronounciation is "Ka-TOO-Loo". BTW - if you look closely, it's CTHULU, and not CTHULHU in the Video. Propably because of law...
I can tell already people are going to be super anal about pronunciation. Well stop it. Lovecraft already said that it's really unpronounceable, but that his closest form sounded like "Chooloo" as if you were coughing it up. In the end the word is just a symbol for the beast.
sup guys. do u have 6 tongues? nope. theres no way we could say his name. a thousand eons would pass before you could possibly pronounce a syllable of his true name. besides, its more of a telepathy thing anyways......
@Skateboard013 Lovecraft would have approved of this- he intended for the names of the monsters and gods to have different spellings and pronunciations, as if their original language was one too alien for the human mouth to speak properly.
@Dash1281 I believe it was that Cthulhu knows all the secrets of the universe, and when you look at him, you're driven mad by the endless knowledge. Or something like that.
@ShadowSoldior No, Yog-Sothoth is the keeper of all knowledge (so says my copy of the Necronomicon). Cthulhu is a multi-dimensional being, it is projected into a 3 dimensional world. This is why humans go completely kookoo when they catch even a glimpse of R'lyeh, because the dimensional inequalities make human minds overload.
@whotouchedmahgunn Oh well okay then...However, it sounds as if you're saying Cthulhu does not know all there is to know in the universe. Blasphemer. :P
the idea of cthulhu is cool. but i think it is really dumb how people believe in a character that has been proven to not exist multiple times and yet they choose not to believe in God when evidence of his presence is all around us.
He pronounced Cthulhu improperly. The correct pronunciation has a post-velar stop and two guttural trills. It should sound like a black goat of the woods, giving birth to a thousand young. Nice try though.
Actually there are several ways to pronounce it. In English most common is something like Kutulu (KU-tu-lu or ku-TU-lu). Many lovecraft scholars also use that Klu-lu with throatly 'growl' on the klu...
But as far as I know, Lovecraft himself meant it to be said like many people speakig native other languages (Finnish for example, as I) would say it naturally... It is K-t-h-ulhu, you know, t as in Tee, and h as in Hell. Both separately, not as in THe.
if you dont have 9 tongues and a 6 foot mouth and you arent a transdimensional being than you can't say it right, and besides it's more of a mental thing
@CaptPoco there is no correct human pronunciation because humans cant pronunce cthulhu. and the black goat of the woods with a thousand young is a synonym for shubb-niggurath, not how cthulhu should sound.... nice try though, go work on your "post-velar stop".... nerd
@CaptPoco actually there is no proper pronuciation of cthulu for we cant even say his real name cthulhu, culoo, ktulu, and even kulthulu are all acceptable spelling for that is the closest we can ever come to it
@sandsiblings2 Lovecraft transcribed the pronunciation of Cthulhu as "Khlûl'-hloo" (IPA: [ˈχɬʊl.ɬuː] ?).
In other iterations of the Mythos, it has been written that the closest the human voice can come to pronouncing Cthulhu would be to try to say "Clulu" with your tongue pressed against the roof of your mouth.
Since the great old ones do not require an auditory means of communication, because they emerged in the cold vacuum of space where as we all know, no one can hear you scream, Cthulhu is the general form our mouths can produce to manifest the name of the priest of the great old ones and there is no right way of pronouncing it. Everyone's neurological architecture is different therefore each utterance is valid.
Act-ee-oo-lee it's not pronounced anything like you think it would be pronounced, I met Cthulhu the other day and he pronounces it Carl, he appreciates our effort at trying to make him feel comfortable by trying to say his name but says it's really not necessary, and it's just a lot easier if we just call him carl. He told me no human tounge, no mater how skilled is incapable of pronouncing it properly and we shouldn't be fighting over it, seriously That's what Cthulhu (Carl) told me.
Thanks, good to know. He and I were sucking down a few beers last night and he seemed really depressed. When I called him Carl he got a big grin on his face and then started crying. Really just a lonely, misunderstood guy. Then he was off to eat all the souls at the local children's hospital. Hmmmm.
Starting at 0:20 or 0:21, that scream sounds like the one in starcraft when you select (I think) the Academy, well, one of the terran buildings anyway.
Thanks! :D Sometimes it's hard to find the names of songs and soundclips ^_^ you made my day! I think I just gained 42 culture points, Still a while before I level up tho...
You cant possibly know the pronunciation, it was written on paper almost 90 years ago now, unless theres a record of Lovecraft actually speaking it, wich to my knowledge, there isnt, we will never know the proper pronunciation.
Uploader is correct, theres no way to know. Commonly is pronounced ku-thu-lu or ka-thu-lu, but I have hear k-uu-lu or even just thu-lu. Trying to pronounce "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh C'thulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" is even worse, fhtagn!

And by the way, Necronomicon exists. Though it's written by 'Simon' in 1900s, it's content is partly authentical Sumerian and Mesopotamian myths.
But about this video. Great! Very funny and if there were a Cthulhu lego I surely would by it. Heils!

the idea of cthulhu is cool. but i think it is really dumb how people believe in a character that has been proven to not exist multiple times and yet they choose not to believe in God when evidence of his presence is all around us.

The same amount of evidence exists for both characters. I for one choose Cthulhu

He pronounced Cthulhu improperly. The correct pronunciation has a post-velar stop and two guttural trills. It should sound like a black goat of the woods, giving birth to a thousand young. Nice try though.

Yeah, right. Fascinating how the Necrmonicon, who is a massive joke, continues to fascinaye people...

I know, the Necronomicon is compelete fiction and hasn't been written, not even by the original author of Cthulu. And people still think it's real.

I pronounce it Klu-lu. With a very hard back-of-the-throat sound. Kinda like a Hebrew He or a German Ch
finalconsecration 2 years ago
Actually there are several ways to pronounce it. In English most common is something like Kutulu (KU-tu-lu or ku-TU-lu). Many lovecraft scholars also use that Klu-lu with throatly 'growl' on the klu...
But as far as I know, Lovecraft himself meant it to be said like many people speakig native other languages (Finnish for example, as I) would say it naturally... It is K-t-h-ulhu, you know, t as in Tee, and h as in Hell. Both separately, not as in THe.

if you dont have 9 tongues and a 6 foot mouth and you arent a transdimensional being than you can't say it right, and besides it's more of a mental thing

@CaptPoco there is no correct human pronunciation because humans cant pronunce cthulhu. and the black goat of the woods with a thousand young is a synonym for shubb-niggurath, not how cthulhu should sound.... nice try though, go work on your "post-velar stop".... nerd
b33lze6u6 1 year ago
@CaptPoco actually there is no proper pronuciation of cthulu for we cant even say his real name cthulhu, culoo, ktulu, and even kulthulu are all acceptable spelling for that is the closest we can ever come to it
sandsiblings2 1 year ago
@sandsiblings2 Lovecraft transcribed the pronunciation of Cthulhu as "Khlûl'-hloo" (IPA: [ˈχɬʊl.ɬuː] ?).
In other iterations of the Mythos, it has been written that the closest the human voice can come to pronouncing Cthulhu would be to try to say "Clulu" with your tongue pressed against the roof of your mouth.

@CaptPoco There is no proper pronunciation, it's an alien name.
Lovecraft himself said that.

Since the great old ones do not require an auditory means of communication, because they emerged in the cold vacuum of space where as we all know, no one can hear you scream, Cthulhu is the general form our mouths can produce to manifest the name of the priest of the great old ones and there is no right way of pronouncing it. Everyone's neurological architecture is different therefore each utterance is valid.

mikisaikano 2 years ago
Act-ee-oo-lee it's not pronounced anything like you think it would be pronounced, I met Cthulhu the other day and he pronounces it Carl, he appreciates our effort at trying to make him feel comfortable by trying to say his name but says it's really not necessary, and it's just a lot easier if we just call him carl. He told me no human tounge, no mater how skilled is incapable of pronouncing it properly and we shouldn't be fighting over it, seriously That's what Cthulhu (Carl) told me.

@Oroborus12
Thanks, good to know. He and I were sucking down a few beers last night and he seemed really depressed. When I called him Carl he got a big grin on his face and then started crying. Really just a lonely, misunderstood guy. Then he was off to eat all the souls at the local children's hospital. Hmmmm.

Starting at 0:20 or 0:21, that scream sounds like the one in starcraft when you select (I think) the Academy, well, one of the terran buildings anyway.

You cant possibly know the pronunciation, it was written on paper almost 90 years ago now, unless theres a record of Lovecraft actually speaking it, wich to my knowledge, there isnt, we will never know the proper pronunciation.
uploader2k7 2 years ago
Uploader is correct, theres no way to know. Commonly is pronounced ku-thu-lu or ka-thu-lu, but I have hear k-uu-lu or even just thu-lu. Trying to pronounce "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh C'thulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" is even worse, fhtagn!

The human tongue is not capable of pronouncing Cthulhu. The closest way we can is "ka thoo loo"
