Meissa: Meh-ee-sah

Nashira: nah-shee-rah

Ayamao: Eye-ah-mao
Uxmal: Ooksmahl
Chibunei: Chee-boo-ney (ey, as canadians say in movies. No offense to any of course.)
Craeftilin: Cray-ftil-in

I'm from kentucky, so a lot of my pronunciation are biased on southern accents (which often times mutilates the english language) however, i studied japanese for a while so that has also begun to influence how I say a lot of my words, even IRL. I notice other Kentuckians tend to look at me awkward when I say words that they say with a long A as an ah sound. Cracks me up at times.

may-EE-sah
zah-VEE-zha or zah-VEE-jah
nah-SHEE-rah
sah-DAHL
AL-gor-ab [where last syllable rhymes with 'tab']
AYE-uh-mow [where last syllable rhymes with 'now']
OOSH-mahl [with 100% certainty]
CHEE-boo-nay
CRAYFT-lynn
ch'ZREEM [that is, where the first syllable is an unvoiced consonant followed by a very brief glottal stop, and the second syllable is voiced - it's somehow easier to pronounce if you roll the "r" a tiny bit - but man, I've always loved this word; it's forceful and whispery at the same time, totally appropriate!]
WIRT-true [you know, like the peg-legged boy... really]

p.s. I, too, pronounce the name of A Certain Dismal Village "cry-cheer," even though I recognize that "-chire" is probably a variant of "-shire." Go fig.

This is cool. Most people here pronounce these things the exact same way I do.

Ch'zzrym I always thought of as k'ZREEM, no 'ch' sound. By contrast, I pronounce Krychire the exact same way it's spelled--Cry-Chire.

I like this thread.
