As the french I am will do:
Amonkrie = 'Am-on(as in bomb)-kry [Amhoncri in french way]
Xiati = Gzy-'a-ty
Piundon = Py-oun-'don(as in bomb)
Sallega = Sal-le-ga (a bit like sa-leg-a) [Salèga]
Norak = Nor-'ack
Sergetti = 'Ser-get-y [sèrjèti]
Drushocka = 'Drew-sho-ca [drouchoca]
XiChung = 'gzi-shoung [xichoung]
Fazrah = 'Faz-ra (fazra)
Toltayan = Tol'taïahn

I made up a new phonetic sound for Xiati. You smush the x and the i together. Slowed down it would sound like

Ex-Eye-A(short A sound, like in cat)-Tee

but I make the Ex-Eye into one syllable. The X isn't completely pronounced and it sounds kind of like a hiss that turns into an I.

The EEE: Earl Grey
The Pretorians (or some such): the Scarlet(t) Fireflies
The Jraenar: Traitors 'n Renegades
The Crystallines: The thorns in the back
The Norak: Niet, Nietzsche!
Etc.

What do you mean, I missed the point altogether? I can't say I have ever tried to pronounce those names, so I would probably settle for the first thing that crosses my head... or a mixture of various languages, more likely.
