Not sure why they are called markers, but hay.

Markers (/**/, /!!/, /""/) now have official definitions and pronunciations! Isn't that marvellous.

/*comment*/
/!proper noun!/
/"quote"/

The forward slash ('/') in each case is pronounced as the 'i' in 'in'.

The * is pronounced as the Timlan 'c'
The ! is pronounced as the Timlan 'p'
The " is pronounced as the Timlan 'k'

For example, saying /!France!/, one says '/p France p/' (where '/' is the i vowel thingy). The reasoning and logic behind this should be evident.
