So this was something I was wondering. There are lots of dinosaurs with very interesting names, and it seems everywhere I look has a different pronunciation.
Anyway, these are a few dinosaurs I was wondering about, plus how I pronounce them.
Ceratosaurus (Sare-uh-toh-sore-us) Afrovenator (A-fro-ven-ate-or) Concavenator (Con-cave-un-ate-or) Skorpiovenator (Skorp-ee-oh-ven-ate-or) Cryolophosaurus (Cry-oh-loaf-oh-sore-us) Dilophosaurus (Die-loaf-oh-sore-us) Monolophosaurus (Mon-oh-loaf-oh-sore-us) Deinonychus (Die-non-ee-kus) Ouranosaurus (Oo-ran-oh-sore-us) Carcharodontosaurus (Car-care-oh-dont-oh-sore-us) Camarasaurus (Cuh-mare-uh-sore-us) Abelisaurus (Uh-bell-uh-sore-us) Aucasaurus (Aw-cuh-sore-us) Giganotosaurus (Jih-gah-note-oh-sore-us) Piatnitzkysaurus (Pee-at-nitz-kee-sore-us) Mononykus (Mon-oh-nick-us) Compsognathus (Comp-sug-nathe-us)
These, and quite a few others, always puzzle me, because even though a lot of them have pretty simple names, their pronunciation is never the same, everywhere I look it is different.

Wait... It's car-care-oh-dont-oh-sore-us? I'VE BEEN SAYING IT WRONG MY WHOLE LIFE?! That is simply how I pronounce it. I really have no idea how to correctly say it. How do you say it? Car-car-oh-dont-oh-sore-us? Because that is the way I used to say it

Technically Giganotosaurus is suppose to be originally pronouced "Hig-a-no-to-saurus" because its spanish but whatever. No one pronouces it that way anyway.

I am not sure if just because Coria and Salgado named it means that it would be pronounced in Spanish. I am not sure if they even pronounce it that way, but I am also not sure there is a way to confirm how they pronounce it.

Its the latter, Car-CAR-oh Not saying Wikipedia is reliable, but it states that a third pronunciation is accurate, Car-ker-oh-dont-oh-sore-us.
