I pronounce it Tirnanoog. An irish person may know exactly. Or Wikipedia. 
The only one that I'm unsure about if I pronounce it correctly is R'lyeh. |
I believe the correct pronunciation of R'lyeh is "oh-REE-lee". At least, that's what I keep hearing everyone around me saying. Damn cultists! Leave me alone.

Re: How should word "C'tis" be pronounced?
I pronounce Tir na n'Og as tear nah noag (no emphasis on the 'a') and R'Lyeh as ruh lie eh. I'm pretty confident about R'Lyeh but less so about tir.
Also bean sidhe I just pronounce banshee

Nice. I didn't notice this before. Quite probably they're really related. |

Re: How should word "C'tis" be pronounced?
In Finnish C-words are K-words for whatever reason. Cimmeria is Kimmeria, Cyprus is Kypros.
Thus it is no wonder that I, and the people I play with, have always said "C'tis" as "Ktis". Dunno if it is wrong or right, but "Stis" just sounds not right in my ears  |

They are the same.
"Bean Sidhe" is modern Irish spelling of "banshee". You can also see it spelled "banshie", "bean si" or "ben sidhe"; people of Scottish persuasion sometimes write it as "ban-sìth", "bean-sìth" or"ban-shìth". I believe that there are slightly different spellings of it from east Munster and Isle of Man, but I do not remember those exactly and I am away from my books at the moment.
Although I have probably already added far more information than you really wanted, I can add that the terms mean "fairy woman" or "woman of the fairy mound".
As for Latin pronunciation, I have found that discussing that is a sure-fire way of getting shouted at by fanatics that all present slightly - or very - different versions of the only true pronunciation. As far as I know, though, Latin was around for quite a long time and pronunciation did differ between localities and over time. And probably between social groups, as well.

I'll be summoning Azathoth later tonite. I'l ask him the correct pronunciation, hopefully before he kills me.
