Don't we have any Egyptians who can tell us the intricacies of their native language?  Not sure if it matters how you pronounce it in Poland, or Turkey, or Kentucky. 
I am partial now to Tss'tisss though, reminds me of purrurr.  |

Re: How should word "C'tis" be pronounced?
Unexpectedly many different opinions.
I just wonder how the devs used to pronounce it when they thought of the nation. Any chances to know which one is correct? |
