How do you pronounce DALEKS ?

[Mikey]

Ok, for the people that say DARLEKS - LOL

Seriously thought.

I noticed some people pronounce them as Daleks --- the al rhymes with the proper name Al

Others pronounce them as DOLLICKS or DOLLECKS

How do you say Dalek ?

I say it the Al way.

How do they pronounce it on the series?

How do they pronounce it on the series?

Both ways, depending on who's saying it .................

[YANOULI]

They are " DARLEKS ", mutations of the " KARLED " people.

Alot of the other ways you mentioned are just from different accents.
McCoy called them " Dalleks "

[ODBJBG]

Uh, they're Daleks from the Kaleds actually.

It should be pronounced, Dah-Leks, but Doll-lek or Dal-Lek would be acceptable.

Dar-lek is just wrong though.

I know, i've been watching Doctor Who since the mid 70's.
Mike wanted to know how to pronounce it.

[Mikey]

But I always pronounce Kaleds as KAY-LEDS ... is that wrong ?

[rche]

I say Dahhhlecks if'n I am trying to be one of them, but Dayliks if'n I am a human.

[HardyGirl]

Um...well...I'm not really a fan of this stuff, but everytime I see you guys talking about it, I assumed it was pronounced DAY-leks. (and no cracks about the words assume!)

[wolfie]

There Darliks in Wolverhampton. Allways have been and allways will.

[Meule]

Proper pronunciation is Dah-leks

[Mikey]

I think it might be an accent thing too.

Just like most Americans pronounce Dr Who DOCK-TER WHO and Brits say DOCK-TOUR WHO.

Compared to Brits, Americans do funky things with vowels all the time

DALE-EXS

What about the crazy way the French deau their vowels? Why deau with one letter when four would be better?*

[spamn]

I just want to say that I've always pronounced it DAH-LEX.
