Cipriani or Cipriani? (Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories)

What does Tony's last name sound like? He called himself both Sipriani and Kipriani. I think Cipriani. And you?

In English Cipriani, in Italian Cipriani, Cipriani is like an accent goes, or more correctly Cipriani

In general, the most correct pronunciation can be Cipriani.

In my opinion, this issue has already been discussed on the forum.

Well, talk again. Does this bother you in some way?

He called himself Cypriani at least once in Three, I guarantee that. But in English it will be Cipriani.

If at the beginning of the surname "Ci ...", then it sounds like "Chi ..."
If it says "Chi ...", then it will sound "Ki ..."
Laws of Italian phonetics! And no "SI ..." !!!
"C" will be read if "Si" is written.

PS: There are two more nuances:
1. Developers do not know the rules of Italian grammar and voiced the way they prefer.
2. Tony already considers himself so English that he calls himself in the English manner.
But I have listed the correct phonetic rules, because I studied this beautiful language.

Toni Cipriani - Toni Cipriani!
PS: Sipriani is Sipriani!
Not a single self-respecting Italian mafioso will allow to alter his ITALIAN SURNAME in the English way!

The developers do not know Italian, that proves it. Or is there something particularly hidden here. Although these are all guesses and without confirmation, they will not come true.

Tsipriani

no. Read the topic first.

In general, the situation here is the same as with Niko Bellic from GTA IV.

Tsipriani will then be written like this: Zipriani :)
PS: And the topics for this are created to discuss and argue about this and that.
