Hebrew doesn't have written vowels... but they are definitely spoken depending on which letters are used and in which order. But the whole Yahweh thing is an educated guess. I have seen the name translated to English in several different ways... many of these translations from those who were once Jews or are credible scholars who study Hebrew. Not even they know exactly what it is.

It's not really Yahweh. Even the Jews don't know what vowels to stick in there. Vowels were viewed as the souls of words. Hence they were left out. Also, this allows for one to get a depth of meaning out of the text.
The sacred name of God is not something to be mocked. It's a pity that that is all you know how to do.

the people who study the scriptures studied this in accordance to how the hebrew is spoken, and they used YAHWEH because its the most logical way to pronounce it according to the hebrew language.
sometimes there are things in wich we can express ourselves the way we like or prefer, but these kind of issues are not under debate, YAHWEH is the word that trough many studies and researches was found to be the best that suits the consonants YHWH. it wasnt decided on how it sounded better or funnier. now YHWH was the way the israeli people wrote the word for God, the new name and person that God gave us to invoce him is Jesuschrist, that is the current name of God given to us by him so we can name him and invoce him. because Jesuschrist is YAHWEH in flesh.

Meatblot, you're a killer.
As soon as I see your name, I know there will be ridicule.
What a fine reputation you have.
I'll assume you are saving the last half of your life to be serious.
Since the vowels are unknown, the vowels of Adonai (in Hebrew, meaning Lord) were added in.

Yahweh's the simple way of saying it. Yod-Hay-Vau-Hay. The letters make the noise Yahweh, before vowel marks.

It was the unspeakable name of God...the tetragrammaton....
We translate it as "LORD GOD" in scripture.
