Looks like it'll be a fun meme to do, if I can actually keep up with it XD I'm notoriously flakey with the 'one a day' type memes >>
Tsyllaes is basically pronounced TSIL-lace, with the 'ts' bit like at the beginning of tsunami. It's a combination of the favourite sounds from each of the four kingdoms that make it up: Tsayth uses ts to start a lot of words, Llayad is fond of double-L, Raykin likes using Y (that sounds like an i) and ae, and Kazin likes hissy sounds like S and Z. Of course, with all their different languages and accents, all four kingdoms say it differently themselves, so in the end it doesn't really matter how you say it. You're bound to hit on one correct pronunciation XD
