Hey guys, just a little question, where did the name Tchort come from? I am not talking about the lore of the game, im talking in real life, where does the name is inspired from?

Чёрт=devil in Russian.

More of a demon, often minor and not very smart one.

I wonder why devs added letter 'T' to "chort" (чёрт) name. Could break a tongue while pronouncing it

[HulkOSaurus]

I believe that if you were to write Chort, that would be pronounced [kort] considering the established phonetics. In Slavic languages in general there is a designated letter for the sounds 'CH' as in 'chart', for 'CH' as in 'chorus' is 'k'. To distinguish that in English, T is put before 'CH' to force 'CH' as in 'chart.' Therefore Tchort.

[Styg]

To distinguish that in English, T is put before 'CH' to force 'CH' as in 'chart.'

That is, indeed, how it is pronounced.
