Klooth?

Kay-Loth, with 'oth' as in mammoth
But the real pronunciation can be said by only an insect, because K'Luth are insect-ish. Anyone having a pet cicada or spider with speakability?

It does not matter how to pronounce it really. I personally pronounce it Kuh-Looth when using a voice chat.

It does to me. I'd like to know the official pronunciation of the faction I play on.
By the way, how's that UGTO video of yours going JBud?

Some say that they are genetically engineered humans with 2 more arms where their nipples should be.
All we know is that, they're pronounced ZOMG OP LOBSTERS.

Presumably the apostrophe is a glottal stop, so it's either "Kuh-luth" or "Kuh-looth".

Officially it is supposed to be pronounced as a very short "kuh" sound, followed by "luff", although the most common pronunciation is more like "kul-looth" or "cloof", skipping the gutteral stop entirely.
Which ever you prefer, it's easier just to called them lobsters.

To add.
The L in K'Luth officially needs to be capitalized.
so no K'luth but K'Luth..

since I usually use or read ' as a part of a word that's left out, I pronounce K'Luth "kloot" if read English or "kluht" if read German
